I am using this connection command from a FreeBSD-11.1p5 host running mate and using mate terminal to initiate the connection: ipmitool -H "$HOST" -U "$UNAME" -I lanplus sol activate After connecting I am asked for a password. After accepting the password I get this: [SOL Session operational. Use ~? for help] However, the resulting session does not respond to any typing or carriage returns. If I use the escape sequence for help (~?) then I get this: ~? Supported escape sequences: ~. - terminate connection ~^Z - suspend ipmitool ~^X - suspend ipmitool, but don't restore tty on restart ~B - send break ~? - this message ~~ - send the escape character by typing it twice (Note that escapes are only recognized immediately after newline.) The line wrapping is exactly what appears on the terminal screen. What do I need to get this to work and present me with a remote ipmi console? -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.
