For those who wish to trigger a RANCID run for every change, 
SEC-based syslog triggers are easy (provided your syslog & rancid 
hosts can talk!) and I know some folks trigger based on snmp traps 
(again, assuming the traphost and rancid host can talk).  A visit 
to rancid-discuss at shrubbery.net might be in order to go further
down that route. :-)

Cheers,

Joe
