[rancid] Help with suppressing part of the show run output

[Tom Simpson]

Yeah, if TACACS was an option, I would as well. Plus I can't get it removed right now, since someone else has been convinced we "need that information" every time we run any show commands....

I am trying to get TACACS implemented sometime this year, but it is low on my todo list, since the authentication we are currently using works...




Thanks,

I disabled that prompt upon login via clogin.  Here's a diff:

Had I been aware of an autocmd via tacacs as heasley points out in another message, I would have asked them to remove the vty command and shoved it into their tacacs profile.

Thanks!
