Network Configuration Management

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)
