Okay, so, it looks like all of the functions in lib/ipmi_sol.c make calls to: [instance]->sendrecv
Where 'sendrcv' is actually a (bizarre looking) function mapping strcut for src/plugins/lan/lan.c:* So, sendrecv is actually ipmi_intf->ipmi_lan_send_cmd() ... Which will eventuallly call ipmi_lan_send_setup(), then ipmi_lan_send_open() where your your classic gethostbyname() will fail --- snipp --- struct hostent *host = gethostbyname((const char *)s->hostname); if (host == NULL) { lprintf(LOG_ERR, "Address lookup for %s failed", s->hostname); return -1; Now, "return -1" is nice, but, it doesn't help because calls to ipmi_intf->sendrecv() are running in a loop inside a loop! Again, we examine the error code there, but in the "default:" case, we don't shit the bed, which I'm guessing maybe we could/should? This I will open up to comment. Let me put a diff out there for ya, to get you the functionality you expect. ~BAS On Mon, 22 Jun 2009, Fabien Wernli wrote: > Hi, > > On Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 08:10:11AM -0400, Brian A.
