We use Rancid and have it run every hour against Juniper and Cisco gear.  If there's a change, we get an email, and all 
the revisions are automatically saved in SVN.  Attach WebSVN and you have a nice web viewer.  You administer the 
devices as you normally would, but you'll have automatic version control and change monitoring.   It's simple to set 
up, and free.

Just curious what people are using for network configuration manangement systems. I'm guessing most places have 
something built in-house, but before starting down that road I figured it would be a good idea to see if people have 
any off-the-shelf systems they like.

Some features I'd like to have:
 * Interface configs
 * Firewall filter configs
 * BGP session configs
 * User management
 * Support for multiple router and switch vendors (at least
   Juniper and Cisco)
