+Rancid monitors a router's (or device's) configuration, including software
+and hardware (cards, serial numbers, etc), using CVS. Rancid currently
+supports Bay routers, Cisco routers, Juniper routers, Catalyst switches,
+Foundry switches, Redback NASs, ADC EZT3 muxes, MRTd (and thus likely IRRd),
+Alteon switches, and HP procurve switches.
+
+Rancid logs into each of the devices in a router table file, runs various
+commands, chomps the output, and emails any differences ( sample) from
+the previous collection to a mail list.
+
+A looking glass is also included with rancid, based on Ed Kern's in use on
+http://nitrous.digex.net/. Rancid version has added functions, supports cisco,
+ juniper, and foundry and uses the login scripts that come with rancid;
+so it can use rsh, telnet, or ssh to connect to your router(s).
