Re: [Freeipmi-users] ipmipower over IP - IBM eServer 325

[Gerald Nowitzky]

After updating the firmware I used the IBM IPMI config utility (lancfg) to 
set the passwords again.
The program confirmed the password changes.
Trying again, nothing changed. Still no response on ipmipower.

I was trying around and happened to try the 0.2.0 IPMIPOWER with -u USERID 
but no -p and  - it worked!!

ipmipower 0.1.3 still isn't working.

So there is something about setting the password with the IBM lancfg 
utility.

I am very sorry for wasting your time!

I'm thinking the tool set the password correctly, but quite possibly not
the privilege levels, thus the password still "fails".  (This points out
an issue I should perhaps fix in ipmipower.  I allow the user to pick
the authentication type but not the privilege level.(

Do you think you could build a different FreeIPMI and try it out?  I
have a newer ipmipower that will try different privilege automatically.
It might fix your problem.

I will also see if I can hunt down some IBM IPMI contacts to see what
they are doing with their IPMI solution.

Thanks,
Al
