iLO1 (used on DL360 g3, g4, g4p and DL380 g3, g4) had text console via ssh and I have used it often because of cut+paste. Unfortunatly as far I know iLO2 (used on g5) does not support ssh text console. -- Regards, Ulf. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ulf Zimmermann, 1525 Pacific Ave., Alameda, CA-94501, #: 510-865-0204 You can find my resume at: http://www.Alameda.net/~ulf/resume.html _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
