Re: [Freeipmi-users] What is the FreeIPMI command to set IPMI username and password?

[Ole Holm Nielsen]

Hi Al,

Thanks for the pointer to the ipmi-config.conf(5) man-page.  Probably the 
config section for Section User2 is the relevant one for my simple question.

But I still cannot identify any Freeipmi command to perform an in-band 
setting of username and password for the initial setup of remote login to 
the BMC, corresponding to the ipmitool commands listed below.  Can you 
help me with a command example?

Thanks,
Ole
