For current OpenPOWER systems, it's only IBM FSP machines and OpenBMC that have a nameless account. Both SuperMicro and AMI BMCs require usernames, so any scripts targetting OpenPOWER systems need to deal with both situations. But maintaining backwards compatibility with existing openbmc ipmi implementations is also a good thing. --=20 Stewart Smith OPAL Architect, IBM.
