[tech] Rancid

At the instigation of wiki.ucc.asn.au/AdminProjects I set up RANCID 
(http://www.shrubbery.net/rancid/), which pulls the configurations of the 
Cisco switches and checks them into Subversion. It strips out the 
passwords and SNMP community strings first, so the data is public unless 
anyone has a good reason otherwise:

http://cvs.ucc.asn.au/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/rancid/ucc/
or `svn co http://svn.ucc.asn.au:8080/rancid/ucc rancid`

The HP Procurve doesn't have a scrapable interface, so that's not in the 
system yet.

(I also fiddled with the Subversion configuration a bit - it's still kinda 
ugly, involving far too much layer 3 magic.)
