Package: ipmitool Version: 1.8.11-1 Severity: wishlist
Although it renders -I lan useless for me, I still think 'wishlist' is the right priority. We have eServer 325 beasts from IBM. I am new to IPMI, thus spent half a day trying to figure my way around, but could not manage to make connection via -I lan, unless I disable authentication at all (which is not good). Then again I checked internet and found in the docs of freeipmi http://sid.ethz.ch/debian/freeipmi/freeipmi-0.7.2/doc/freeipmi-bugs-and-workarounds.txt IBM eServer 325: The remote BMC will advertise that Per Message Authentication is disabled, but actually require it for the protocol. Resolved with a workaround to force Per Message Authentication to be used no matter what is advertised by the remote BMC. It seems to be the case of mine ;) I guess adding an option to enforce per message authentication should help -- I could not find a way to set it in the configs of BMC.
