I like, however I am a little concerned about leaking authentication info. 
Especially if you have more 'interesting' configs.

I understand the need to have the basic interface config info, but do we really 
need the IP details and routing info? I can see some cases where they would 
matter, but most of the time they don't.

I'm not arguing for security by obscurity, but I am willing to argue against 
providing info to attackers instead of making them work a little for it :-)
