Re: [Freeipmi-users] in-band failure on Suns

[Dave Love]

I've figured out what's going on to give the difference between my
simple build of the new version and the rpm.  First of all, they are
both dynamically linked -- I'd forgotten how libtool builds work, and
had just seen ldd say `not a dynamic executable' without thinking in a
hurry.

The difference is that the packaged version was picking up my existing
/etc/freeipmi.conf (unlike the one destined for /usr/local).  That has

  workaround-flags authcap

appropriate for the majority of our nodes out-of-band.  Commenting that
out makes the new bmc-info work in-band with the kernel drivers loaded.

Is that a bug or expected?  (The business of these workarounds is rather
a nightmare.)
