For those who take advantage of sflow on the newer powerconnect firmware
(3.x supports it), you might find that the running-config now has a new
timeout value, which is a countdown. Countdowns make babies cry. While I
hate to see crying babies, sflow is way too useful to let a few whiny
infants get in my way of using it, so instead I decided to modify rancid to
stop informing me of this countdown reduction.

I'm putting in that high number because that is the highest the command
allows, and if you're wanting to paste it into a config again later, better
it to be a usable command and not an <ignored> or <removed> type of message.
My thanx to *john heasley *on the post at

the hints I needed.
This is my first filter, so be kind.
