[rancid] Juniper 'last commit' + Fortigate whitespace + DB

[Chris Wopat]

Hey folks,

We recently updated to 3.7, a few comments/questions.

* Juniper was updated to ignore 'last committed by' line. Changelog
says 'useless
last commit config line'. Curious what others think about this. We think
it's quite valuable and is a nice way help correlate changes to accounts
that made the change. For now we've manually restored it, which is easy
enough.


* We see the 'show chassis firmware' line come and go on some devices. This
happened prior to 3.7 as well. This has been witnessed on MX running 15.1,
QFX running 14.1X53-D45, and possibly other devices.

+ # show chassis firmware


* Fortigate: Some change was made to fix an issue where there was
artificial spacing/line wraps being detected on Fortigate (
http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2017-May/009620.html).
Just wanted to say thanks, this makes Fortigates 20x less chatty!


* Fortigate suggestion: We manually add this to fnrancid still in GetSystem
to keep the chatter down. This was previously mentioned in this thread as
well:
http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2017-June/009643.html,
curious if others would like to see these added as well.

next if (/^\s*APP-DB: .*/);
next if (/^\s*IPS Malicious URL Database: .*/);
next if (/^\s*Botnet DB: .*/);


Cheers,
Chris
