[c-nsp] Automated nighly backup of config files to linux serv er

[Peter Kranz]

All,
	Thanks for your rancid recommendation. We deployed it network wide
and boy is it sweet! I rest lightly knowing that every one of my switch and
router configs is being monitored and tracked and avail in a central
repository.

IOS, CatOs and PIXen, F5's etc. I have extended it for other devices.
