Re: [Freeipmi-users] bmc-config - disable channels.

Hi,

Since you're trying to disable things like KCS, it wouldn't be done via
bmc-config, since that tool is more of an average-user interfacing tool.
Perhaps it'd be via the tool bmc-device, which has options for more
advanced needs.

May I ask what the need is to disable things like KCS?  It's quite an
advanced need.
