SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

14       The  ipmilan  daemon allows an IPMI system interface using the OpenIPMI
15       device driver to be accessed using the IPMI 1.5 or 2.0 LAN protocol.
16
17       ipmilan supports the full authentication capabilities of the  IPMI  LAN
18       protocol.
19
20       ipmilan  supports multiple IP addresses for fault-tolerance.  Note that
21       messages coming in on an address are always sent back out on  the  same
22       address they came in.

OPTIONS

26       -c file, --config-file file
27              Set  the  configuration  file  to  one other than the default of
28              /etc/ipmi_lan.conf
29
30       -i device, --ipmi-dev device
31              Sets the desired device
32
33       -n, --daemonize
34              Stops  the  daemon  from  forking  and  detaching  from the con‐
35              trolling terminal. This is useful for running from init.
36
37       -d, --debug
38              Turns  on  debugging  to standard output.  You generally have to
39              use -n with this.

CONFIGURATION

48       Configuration is accomplished through the file  /etc/ipmi_lan.conf.   A
49       file  with  another  name or path may be specified using the -c option.
50       See the ipmi_lan config file man page for more details.

SECURITY

54       ipmilan implements normal IPMI security.  The default is no access  for
55       anyone,  so  the  default  is pretty safe, but be careful what you add,
56       because this is access to control your box.  straight and  none  autho‐
57       rizations  are  not  recommended, you should probably stick with md2 or
58       md5.

SIGNALS

62       SIGHUP
63            ipmilan should handle SIGHUP and reread it's configuration  files.
64            However,  it  doesn't  right now.  It might in the future, for now
65            you will have to kill it and restart it.   Clients  should  handle
66            reconnecting in this case.  If they don't, they are broken.

KNOWN PROBLEMS

83       Currently, ipmilan does not implement writing the  config  file.   IPMI
84       commands  to  change configuration options are accepted, but the perma‐
85       nent writing of the changes does not currently work.
