Yes, I approve of rancid.  However, I'm after an inventory of MAC address devices (nodes).

I think that the best solution (without database access) is some perl which logs into the net disco front page and does a node search on * (with some filtering for neatness).  The script can do this once per day and store a set of maybe 30 days flat text locally, then offer diffs on request, or something similar.

In any case, if and when I get this working I'll let you all know in case it's useful.
