[rancid] Re: Rancid Ignore Devices

[Gregory W Zill]

And since we distribute e-mails to the RANCID network engineering group, 
we add a fourth field, as in

1234-asa:cisco:up
1234-pix:cisco:down:fw upgrade to 1234-asa on 20080524
1234-juniper:netscreen:down:new fw implementation on 20080615

The router.db change will be broadcast to the group once.
