I have downloaded the Aruba scripts from ftp://ftp.shrubbery.net/pub/rancid/contrib/ <ftp://ftp.shrubbery.net/pub/rancid/contrib/> but these were designed for 2.3 and suggest editing rancid-fe. Instead what I ended up with, after much guesswork, is this:

Thanks for the tip. However, I was having some issues with the old script so I ended up building a new 3.x style Perl module that works for our purposes. If anyone’s interested in improving or stealing it, it can be found here: https://github.com/miken32/rancid-aruba/
