Duncan, I already have a fix for the 16 character username problem. I already posted a patch for it to the Patch tracker for version 1.8.11 and I was going to post a patch for it to TOB after I complete the Threshold/Discrete/Analog Display issue which is currently in review. If you look closely you will see I assigned these defect to myself.
Both of the defects you mention are for the same issue, the problem is that ipmitool permits a user to specify greater than 16 character passwords. The IPMI password length limit is 16. I'll try to post a patch for review for the 16 character username limit sometime this week. Do you what you can with the resources you have a hand. Any/All help is much appreciated. -- Jim Mankovich | jm...@hp.com -- On 4/23/2012 12:22 PM, Duncan Idaho wrote:

If anyone has any time to work on ipmitool, please look at Tracker items first for something to do. Time, yes(sometimes). Machines to test at? No. And some stuff, well the most of it, will require some IPMI capable hardware to test and develop at. So it won't be that easy to get devs. Anyway. Once we agree on code in 'lib/ipmi_user.c', I could take a look at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3001519&group_id=95200&atid=610550 <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3001519&group_id=95200&atid=610550> and http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3184687&group_id=95200&atid=610550 <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3184687&group_id=95200&atid=610550> . That's where they'll go right? btw this sounds like a BMC(IPMI stack) to me as well and reportee should report it to his vendor. --Duncan
