I guess this one isn't yet in CVS?

Ah, I see.
So there should be a review before CVS submission.

Hmmm, I have to setup a cluster of >600 machines, and would like to do
everything at instalation time. Since the machine being installed doesn't
know about network (and cannot access it's own BMC via LAN, only using 
"-I open") this may be a bit tricky...

Am I the only one who wants to keep the existing ADMIN user and add a new 
one, instead of redefining the existing one?
(I might reconsider this scheme since for user 2, SOL works with all my 
BMC models - but hope to find some time to test your patch before)
BTW: Is there a way to *query* the sol "enable/disable" status?

Cheers,
 Steffen

Since the IPMI spec is almost the same size as ITU's ISDN specs, I
hesitated to actually read it...
