Thanks! I'll try to get these changes into the bmcsetup script tomorrow and see if it works better.

LOCKEDUSERS is set on BMC models known to have a limitation where user slots can't have name changed except for '4'. I can't recall exactly who the common firmware provider is that has this limitation, but it is one particular company that does this with at least one particular stack, but that stack is common across a few companies (e.g. dx320 was an iDataplex system that made use of it, no IMM systems have this limitation.

IPMIMFG=`ipmitool mc info|grep "^Manufacturer ID"|awk '{print $4}'`

PROD=`ipmitool mc info|grep "^Product ID"|awk '{print $4}'`

Adding that to the 'LOCKEDUSERS' detection mechanism should help it work. I've long been frustrated by this behavior which is more restrictive than IPMI spec would suggest. user slots 2 and up *should* be fair game, but oh well.

I've poked at this box some more, and it seems like this is the main reason for the issues. It doesn't want to let the ADMIN user be overwritten. Thoughts?

If it isn't, it takes over slot 4. There were some IPMI implementations that mandated we use slot 2. If supermicro has another limitation, we can probably adapt bmcsetup easily enough.

We are running into an issue where bmcsetup on this Supermicro seems to be adding users with a default to "disabled" state. I have to specifically run "ipmitool user enable " on the node to enable the user. Other nodes we run bmcsetup on, such as Dell's, this is not the case and the user is added and enabled by default. Would it be possible to perhaps change the bmcsetup code to purposefully enable the user after it has been added? Would this be the right path to take for this?
