If you are upgrading from rancid-<3, please note that router.db field
separator has been changed from ':' to ';' to avoid conflict with IPv6
addresses. Replace the field separator in router.db files before running
rancid.

The configuration files location is changed from /etc to /etc/rancid.

RANCID monitors a router's (or more generally a device's)
configuration, including software and hardware (cards, serial numbers,
etc) and uses CVS (Concurrent Version System) to maintain history of
changes.
RANCID does this by the very simple process summarized here:
* login to each device in the router table (router.db)
* run various commands to get the information that will be saved
* cook the output; re-format, remove oscillating or incrementing data
* email any differences (sample) from the previous collection to a
mail list
* and finally commit those changes to the revision control system
