[rancid] A few small fixes for arancid and f5rancid

[Tore Anderson]

Hey,

the following patches to rancid 2.3.2 addresses these problems with
f5rancid on a BIG-IP LTM 8900 running version 1.0.1 build 378:

* The attribute Configsync.peerupdatedstatus is periodically changing
its value without any user interaction. It appears that this is normal
behaviour, so ignore this line to avoid diff-mails.
* The reported fan speeds change slightly all the time, which causes
unnecessary diff-mails. Strip them out.

and one problem with arancid on a HP 1:10Gb Ethernet Blade Switch
version 5.0.4-Base:

* User passwords are some kind of a secret hash that changes every time
the configuration is dumped. Strip it out just like the admin password
already is, to avoid diff-mails.

Best regards,

[john heasley]

i believe we already have these in the code base. please try the
attached version.

why did you change arancid for an hp switch? did you alter something or
not define the device as 'hp' in the router.db?

thanks

Yep, your patch works just as fine. Thanks.

It's an OEM'ed BNT switch. It runs AOS, so I've defined it as an
«alteon» in router.db.
