Re: [Freeipmi-users] PEF configuration

[Anand Babu]

Hi,

,----[ "Ben-Shimon, Tamir" <address@hidden> ]
| I was using openIPMI drivers and tools so far, and I am now finaly
| able to use freeIPMI (probably I had old guile pkg that didn't allow
| it so far)
`----
I will add a GNU Guile version check in autoconf script. 

,----[ "Ben-Shimon, Tamir" <address@hidden> ]
| I like it very much because of the fact that it doesn't require 3
| drivers (like the other tools)
`----
Thanks for the appreciation. Because GNU FreeIPMI is completely
written in user-space, it is portable across most POSIX compliant
operating systems such as GNU/Hurd, GNU/Linux and FreeBSD.

| Checking the Roadmap, I have seen that you are about to add PEF
| configuration support (Anand's presentation).
| My questions are:
| Is it going to cover SNMP destination and message filtering
| configuration?  Are you going to add Console support (via LAN)?  Can
| you refer to timelines in high level?
`----
Yes PEF will cover SNMP and message filtering. Rest of the info is in
ROADMAP.
