[rancid] Strange Jerancid/Rancid behavior

[Mack, David A (Dave)]

All,
	Hello! I am in the process of bringing up a new Rancid server and have run into something with at least the jerancid script for Juniper ERXs. What I am seeing is related to password removal. I have filter passwords globally set to "no". However the ERXs have certain passwords that have their hashes calculated on the fly. So each time they are display the values shown will change. This means you get a new CVS every run. Jerancid has routines to handle two of these conditions for FTP and MPLS LDP passwords:

# ftp host encrypted password oscillates
        if (/^(host \S+ \S+ ftp) /) {
            if ($filter_pwds >= 1 || /^host \S+ \S+ ftp \d /) {
                ProcessHistory("","","","!$1 <removed>\n"); next;
            }
        }
 # mpls ldp encrypted password oscillates
        if (/^(mpls ldp neighbor \S+ password)/) {
            if ($filter_pwds >= 1 || /^mpls ldp neighbor \S+ password \d /) {
                ProcessHistory("","","","!$1 <removed>\n"); next;
            }
        }

I am comparing the collected configuration files between my old Rancid install and my new one and here is what I am seeing:

Old Rancid:

!host "FTP1" 172.15.1.1 ftp <removed>
!host "FTP2" 172.15.1.2 ftp <removed>

New Rancid:

! <removed>
! <removed>

I looked at the code for jerancid and I could not find any significant changes that would cause this. When I jerancid from the command line with the debug flag I got:

csrest01(opseng)$ jerancid -d -l erx-ser-01
executing clogin -t 90 -c"show version;show redundancy;show boot;show environment all;dir;show hardware;show configuration" ERX-ser-01
executing clogin -t 90 -c"show version;show redundancy;show boot;show environment all;dir;show hardware;show configuration" ERX-ser-01

HIT COMMAND:ERX-SER-01#show configuration
    In WriteTerm: ERX-SER-01#show configuration
Done : ERX-SER-01#exit


When I look at the .new file created, it does have full commands:

!host "FTP1" 172.15.1.1 ftp <removed>
!host "FTP2" 172.15.1.2 ftp <removed>

What gives? Any ideas how to troubleshoot and resolve this?

My setup:
	Rancid 2.3.6	
	CVS-1.11.23
	Perl 5.8.8
	Solaris 10 x86

Thanks!
