[rancid] Need help with fixing custom Rancid script (IBM flex switches)

[Auzzik]

Thanks a lot Jethro!

I have not heard about such company and their products before.
It worked fine, I just needed to modify scripts to log commands like 
'/info/sys/general', etc.

If someone needs I can share these modifications.
