Sure there is: http://www.shrubbery.net/tac_plus/ BTW: I don't like
Cisco ACS or any other management application from Cisco I've seen so
far. Way to big with, hard to use and some very strange bugs.  

RANCID (http://www.shrubbery.net/rancid/) was mentioned also here and
it's the best tool to track configuration changes in your network equipment. 

And if you want to perform some automatic auditing of configs, take a
look at NIPPER (http://sourceforge.net/projects/nipper).
