You don't need ssh to do ILO related things. Check out the hp-openIPMI stuff. You will need to install some hp kernel drivers and some other things but you can get to the ilo (and do scripts to it!) without traversing the network. There are various google hits, like this one: http://linuxsysadminblog.com/2009/04/hp-ilo-remote-managment-online-configuration-part-1/ HTH. -- Tim _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list rhelv5-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
