thanks a lot for your help. Somehow I missed the authcap workaround, I alreay tried the sol*. In the end one has to specify -W authcap,solpayloadsize This a RS162-E4/RX4 barebone and I think the mainboard is called DSBF-DR12/SAS (according to dmidecode). > > PLMK if those workarounds work out for you. > > Al > > P.S.

Which of these exactly? Wouldn't it be useful to simply try the authcap workaround if "invalid user" was returned? I still have a problem, though. As with ipmitool sysrqs don't work, although sysrqs are generally enabled. Do you have an idea what might be the problem?
