1FREEIPMI(5) Configuration FREEIPMI(5)
2
6 freeipmi.conf - specify default values to FreeIPMI
7
9 The FreeIPMI configuration file can be used to set alternate default
10 values to many FreeIPMI tools so values don't have to be configured on
11 the command line. This allows users to avoid typing in a long list of
12 command line options everytime a command is executed. It can also be
13 used to hide usernames, passwords, and other sensitive information from
14 the ps(1) command.
15 Currently, the tools that can be configured with the configuration file
17 are: bmc-config(8), bmc-device(8), bmc-info(8), bmc-watchdog(8), ipmi-
18 chassis(8), ipmi-chassis-config(8), ipmi-fru(8), ipmi-oem(8), ipmi-pef-
19 config(8). ipmi-raw(8), ipmi-sel(8), ipmi-sensors(8), ipmi-sensors-
20 config(8), ipmiconsole(8), ipmimonitoring(8), and ipmipower(8).
21 By default, the configuration file is stored at /etc/freeipmi.conf. But
23 users may select a different configuration file at the command line
24 with the --config-file option.
25 Values specified on the command line override the configuration values
27 specified in the configuration file.
28
30 The configuration options that can be specified in the configuration
31 file are listed below. Each configuration option must be listed on a
32 separate line. Arguments for an option are separated by any amount of
33 whitespace. Multiple arguments are also separated by whitespace. Com‐
34 ments can be marked by using the pound sign ("#") character, and lines
35 can be continued on the next using backslash ("\").
36 Note that it is possible to list the username, password and other
38 potentially sensitive information in the configuration file. If this
39 data is stored in a configuration file, system administrators should
40 limit access to this file.
41
44 The following options are options generally available to all tools,
45 although specific options may be ignored by some. (For example, ipmi‐
46 console(8) and ipmipower(8) do not perform in-band communication,
47 therefore they would ignore in-band communication options. Similarly
48 bmc-watchdog(8) does not perform out-of-band communication, therefore
49 it would ignore all out-of-band options).
