[rancid] ! character added to start of GetSystem lines

[Gavin McCullagh]

Hi,

using fnrancid (for fortinet), I've noticed that the scripts prefix lines
from the GetSystem command with a !.

Is this a rancid-specific notation or is this an effort to make these lines
into comments, so the whole file could be loaded up on a Fortinet unit? As
far as I can see # is the comment character on Fortinet.

Hello,

You are right, ! Is for comments in Cisco, so in fortigate should change
these lines in fnracid:

183 ProcessHistory("","","","!$_");
214 ProcessHistory("ENC","","","!$1 ENC <removed> $3\n");
289 ProcessHistory("","","","!RANCID-CONTENT-TYPE: fortigate\n\n");

To

183 ProcessHistory("","","","#$_");
214 ProcessHistory("ENC","","","#$1 ENC <removed> $3\n");
289 ProcessHistory("","","","!RANCID-CONTENT-TYPE: fortigate\n\n");
