[rancid] Force10 FTOS 9 keeps triggering alerts due to flash mod time changing

[Hughes, Doug]

I don't have FTOS9 yet, so I haven't seen it. Heasley's patch seems reasonable. I'd probably just make it skip lines in the Flash callback routine that match drwx

It seems in Force10 FTOS9 the mod time on  ".." on the flash changes every time a login happens.  So everytime RANCID logs in, it triggers an alert.  Has anyone else seen this and stopped it from triggering? Just to note, I am not seeing this on the FTOS 8 switches (S55) only the FTOS 9 right after upgrade (S4810P stacked). Below is a few examples.
