Holger, thank your for this information. Based on it I've decided to implement it in a configurable way in ipmitool as well. I'm also adding a default automatic detection of encoding based on GUID version field and on timestamp validity for version 1 GUIDs. Please take a look at branch "bugfix/25" on github and give it a try with your systems. Everyone else is also welcome to try this code with your systems before I merge it. WBR, Alexander.
