[rancid] hp procurve problem - hlogin works - rancid-run fails

[Klavs Klavsen]

I fetched the .src.rpm for 2.3.6 for CentOS, realized the Makefile patch 
(disabling -g00 CFLAGS) was unnecessary, and created an updated patch 
for config - to get rancid home to /var/rancid and logs in 
/var/log/rancid - and installed a complete 2.3.8.

It now works like a charm.

Thank you for all your tips
