[rancid] Rancid 3.2 RHEL6 compatibilities with Socket module.

[Brown, David M JR]

We’ve had several requests to get the updated version of rancid on RHEL 6. However, there seems to be some issues getting that to work with the older version of the Socket module.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1224143

The patch ftp://ftp.shrubbery.net/pub/rancid/rancid-3.2.p3.gz seems to be the supported resolution though it does prevent rancid 3.2 from running on RHEL 6, out of the box.

The patch in the bug suggests using the Socket6 module and pulling the relevant names which seems to have a working version. Would it be possible to use Socket6 instead of Socket for inet_pton()?

Thanks,
- David Brown
