[rancid] Error handler for rancid.types.conf/base files.

[Per-Olof Olsson]

Hello.

1.
If you miss or typo the "script" line in rancid.types.conf you end up 
with: (rancid 3.13)


 >/etc/rancid.types.conf -t <type> <hostname>

What I can see is the "script" line mandatory so is i possible to do 
some test on that this line exists?

Have been nice and stop me from digging deep into perl scripts any more. 
Just point me to my typos in rancid.types.*.



2.
Also a minor type in rancid.conf.sample.in
#ACLFILTERSEQ=YES; export FILTERSEQ

Expect to export the variable that is been defined.
#ACLFILTERSEQ=YES; export ACLFILTERSEQ
