Description
I like to diff my primary and secondary configs to check they are fully in sync. However, there are some false alarms where rule comments have punctuation stripped out. Some examples:
- <descr><![CDATA[Allow syslog, snmp traps to monitoring box]]></descr> + <descr><![CDATA[Allow syslog snmp traps to monitoring box]]></descr>
- <descr><![CDATA[TEMP: iperf testing]]></descr> + <descr><![CDATA[TEMP iperf testing]]></descr>
- <descr><![CDATA[INSECURE marked 'temp' on PH firewall]]></descr> + <descr><![CDATA[INSECURE marked temp on PH firewall]]></descr>
- <descr><![CDATA[Allow FTP admin across Internet (insecure!)]]></descr> + <descr><![CDATA[Allow FTP admin across Internet insecure]]></descr>
(There are also some other cases where the XML elements occur in different orders in the primary and secondary; or one uses <tag/> and the other uses <tag></tag>. I suspect those would be more difficult to fix)
