[c-nsp] OT: network inventory

[Jon Lewis]

Mostly.  By default, rancid does remove cisco obfuscated passwords (the 
ones that are trivially decrypted), so if you just copy a config from 
rancid back to a device, it may not quite be fully functional...but the 
first time someone does a write mem on a big router running a boot image 
or other software that doesn't support all the features being used, you'll 
be glad you have the config backed up by rancid.
