I had to modify brancid to

'show config'           => "ShowConfig",
'show config verbose'      => "ShowConfig",

In order to get it to sort of run. If I set NOPIP=YES, and run brancid -d
router, the .raw output file is complete, but the .new file only has the
following text:

!RANCID-CONTENT-TYPE: bay
