[c-nsp] RANCID problem with 10K CMTS

[David Rothera]

sflog is used for 'Usage Based Billing' according to http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/cable/cmts/feature/ubrsamis.html so it is actually writing to that file which is what RANCID is picking up on, without disabling UBB I can see no way other than changing the RANCID conf for this host to ignore any line containing !Flash and sflog

I may be wrong though as I don't have any experience with the 10k CMTS

I would prefer to make changes to the 10K rather than the RANCID scripts, since another group in our company maintains that aspect of RANCID.  I have attached an example of the changes below.
