Hello Al, I want to thank you very much for your pointer to -x option to the plugin. It works as billed! Now I just have to resolve why I can't gain access while using the -f /path-to/ipmi.cfg and get an error: /usr/local/sbin/ipmi-sensors: password verification timeout
But if I use the same info with -U, -P and -L options, it authenticates properly. I read about the CentOS 5 issues, but I am using CentOS 6 on one machines, and Windows on another.Any thoughts there? Thanks again, Brandon On Fri, Jul 20, 2012 at 4:36 PM, Albert Chu <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Brandon, > > I assume you're using this nagios plugin: > > http://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/oss/ipmi-plugin.html > > There is probably some confusion.
