[rancid] Problem with Rancid and Nexus 7000

[Chris Moody]

We are running rancid across our N7k's successfully. (2.3.2 - so not 
even most recent)

The old "#" in the banner is a common mistake.  Any "control characters" 
such as '#' really shouldn't be used in banners.  Breaks all sorts of stuff.
