[PATCH] FreeIPMI support, multi masters and multi-line comments
Good day.

I prepared a patch that introduces support for:

1. FreeIPMI with new config keywords: "username", "password",
"interface" ("lanplus" value only) and "workaround" flags ("payloadsize"
flag only). Currently tested with SM X8DTU-F and Asus Z8NR-D12.

2. Multi masters. To use the same configuration file across the
numbers of conservers.

3. Multi-line comments in a C-way: /* ... */

4. Basic support for `clientSSLSocket' to operate over secured channel
with remote console.

Any thoughts as to whether this will work with the HP iLO v2 or v3?

As far as ipmiconsole from freeipmi package will work. I've tried only
with one iLO-2 (ProLiant DL360 G5) but always receive "Connection
refused" / "Connection timeouted" with either ipmiconsole or ipmitool:

$ ipmitool -I lanplus -H xx.yy.zz.ww -U admin -P admin sol activate
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(623),
sin_addr=inet_addr("xx.yy.zz.ww")}, 16) = 0
time(NULL) = 1292269970
send(3, "\6\0\377\7\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\t \30\310\201\0008\216\4\265", 23,
0) = 23
nanosleep({0, 100000}, NULL) = 0
select(4, [3], NULL, [3], {1, 0}) = 1 (in [3], left {0, 999346})
recv(3, 0x815ab61, 1024, 0) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection
refused)

Sounds great, we're using a lot of ipmi with a homegrown solution, thank
you.

However, how does putting passwords into the config file relate to ^Eci
(basically dumping said file)? I don't want anyone to connect to BMCs
directly.

It won't dump username/passwords:

[Enter `^Ec?' for help]
[info]
ipmi:ya-mouse,2871,1:!:xx.yy.ww.zz,11w@root@localhost.localdomain@0
:up:rw:./ipmi.log,log,noact,nobrk,0,5:1:noautoup::ixon,ixoff,autoreinit,login::0:\n

It's better to say, that multi masters allows to open several
connections at a time to one remote console, e.g. to Moxa's RealCOM TTY
(patch for conserver on the way).
