so how to folk protect yet access ipmi?  it is pretty vulnerable, so 99%
of the time i want it blocked off.  but that other 1%, i want kvm
console, remote media, and dim sum.

currently, i just block the ip address chunk into which i put ipmi at
the border of the rack.  when i want access, i reconfig the acl.  bit of
a pita.

anyone care to share better idea(s)?  thanks.
