One other thought.  

We should also test to see if the output of Password20 makes sense,
since it won't on many IPMI 1.5 machines.  I think it would be
sufficient to run the Set user Password command and try to test a dummy
20 byte password.   If the result comes back invalid input (I think
that's completion code 0xCC), we know it isn't and we shouldn't output
the config option.

 I can't recall if you can checkout k_r or k_g keys.  If we can't, then the
 above also holds for k_r and k_g.

I double checked, and it seems you can checkout k_r and k_g, so the
previous comments I made don't apply to k_r and k_g.

Yeah, I think that would work.  Just comment it to make sure we
understand why this is a special case.  I'm sure a year from now I'll
look at the code and wonder what the heck is going on :P
