[rancid] Rancid 3.0 and Dell Switches

[Gerhard Mourani]

Just to let you know that if using smc as type of device instead of dell,
it is working for the DELL PowerConnect 62xx series but partially work for
the DELL 34xx series. I mean partially for the 34xx series because it is
able to connect and retrieve the configuration but partially, not the full
configuration! The end of the configuration is missing!
