[Freeipmi-users] OK, i give...

[Karl Hanzel]

I'm interested in using 'ipmipower' to control the up/down'ness of a host.
Of course there must be some form of authentication/authorization 
involved, but it's not immediately obvious how to set this up.

How does one set a user/password witm bmc-config?  Or am i barking up the 
wrong tree?

If i simply do a

   bmc-config --checkout --filename=/tmp/tmp

followed immediately (no editing of /tmp/tmp) by a

  bmc-config --commit --filename=/tmp/tmp

i get the following output:

   Commit Section <User2> Key <Username> Value <Operator> FAILED
   Commit Section <User3> Key <Username> Value <Administrator> FAILED
   Commit Section <User4> Key <Username> Value <CallBack> FAILED
   Commit Section <Misc> Key <Power_Restore_Policy> Value <Off_State_Ac_Apply> 
FAILED

which doesn't seem very promising.


Thanks for any tips.  I feel like i'm pioneering here.
