I spoke too soon. When I applied the parameter change to the monitoring
some of the old boxes went sideways.
Some machines first said "/usr/sbin/ipmimonitoring: k_g invalid " and then
said "ipmi_ctx_open_outofband_2_0: BMC busy"
And this locks them up from web access too....
So selective application of '-D lan20' is in order.
