[rancid] bgp neighbor diff noise on ERX

[Konstantin Yudayev]

Hello,

I was looking through archives but could not find a proper solution for
diff noise problem in ERX configs. Because ERX internally stores
configuration in binary format every time I look at text the ERX
actually compiles the text code from binary. As a result password hashes
for 'router bgp neighbor' is different every time so I have a diff
during every config download for every ERX.
Is it possible to store 'router bgp neighbor <name> password .....'
lines but sort of exclude them from being diffed at cvs commit?

thank you

Lines like this have different <passwordhash> every time 'show conf' is
performed. Even though the password itself does not change the ERX
generates different <passwordhash> every time.

neighbor "TEST-BGP-ONE" password 8 <passwordhash>

Trying to find a work-around for this issue cause I get diffs for every
rancid-run.
