[Ipmitool-devel] SegFault when using Serial over LAN

Hello Everyone, I'm using a natively compiled ipmitool 1.8.8 on multiple Linux OSes and When using Serial over LAN (sol), I've found that if I type very quickly, the tool will segfault every time. For example: -- $ ipmitool -U ADMIN -P ADMIN -I lanplus -H kaadu-ipmi sol activate [SOL Sessi

A few things stick out in my mind: 1. Since the MAC addresses are different for both the IPMI and eth0, this means that, potentially, you should be able to ping the IPMI card and get responses. Does that work? 2. When you did a "lan print 2", there weren't any Cipher suites shown for a given

It sounds like the Sun firmware is crashing when it receives this IPMI "user" command.  You need to take this up with Sun Engineering and even if they feel this is a bug on the ipmitool side, it's also a bug on their side as their IPMI stack shouldn't crash regardless of what it receives. --D
