FYI, Dell used to send patches to the ipmitool project for various extra
things they had such as changing text on the LCD etc.  I forget if they
ever got checked into ipmitool.  They would send it to the mailing list.
I haven't delt with Dell machines for a long time ... working more with
Cisco UCS machines.
