thanks, this was missing. It was also important to specify the module to be
used with "supermicro;script;rancid -t supermicro".
Based on rancid-3.5.1, I managed to get the basic information out of the
switch with the following changes:

$ cat etc/rancid/rancid.types.conf
supermicro;script;rancid -t supermicro
supermicro;login;smlogin
supermicro;inloop;supermicro::inloop
supermicro;module;supermicro
supermicro;command;supermicro::ShowVersion;show version
supermicro;command;supermicro::WriteTerm;show running-config

$ cd usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/rancid/
$ cp edgemax.pm supermicro.pm
$ cd -
$ patch -p0 < ../module.patch

$ cd usr/libexec/rancid/
$ cp blogin smlogin
$ patch -p0 < ../login.patch

with the patches:

Cleaning usr/libexec/rancid/smlogin, usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/rancid/
supermicro.pm and making them fully functional for Supermicro would be a
large task.
It would be nicer to have minimal templates to start with, and build the
functionality gradually.
