I've figured out what's going on to give the difference between my simple build of the new version and the rpm. First of all, they are both dynamically linked -- I'd forgotten how libtool builds work, and had just seen ldd say `not a dynamic executable' without thinking in a hurry.
The difference is that the packaged version was picking up my existing /etc/freeipmi.conf (unlike the one destined for /usr/local). That has workaround-flags authcap appropriate for the majority of our nodes out-of-band. Commenting that out makes the new bmc-info work in-band with the kernel drivers loaded. Is that a bug or expected? (The business of these workarounds is rather a nightmare.) _______________________________________________ Freeipmi-users mailing list Freeipmi-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freeipmi-users
