rmcp_ping(1) IPMI RMCP Ping program rmcp_ping(1)NAME
rmcp_ping - IPMI RMCP Ping program
SYNOPSIS
rmcp_ping [-p port] [-t waittime] [-s starttag] [-d] destination
DESCRIPTION
The rmcp_ping program sends an RMCP ping packet onces a second to the destination, printing unique responses it receives.
OPTIONS -p port
Set the destination port. This is the standard RMCP port by default, 623.
-t waittime
Sets the number of seconds to wait for a response. Ten by default.
-s starttag
There is an 8-bit tag value in every ping packet (0-254, 255 is reserved), this program will cycle through the values starting at
starttag. This is zero by default
-d Turns on debugging to standard output.
destination
The target address, default is the boradcast address (default 255.255.255.255)

rmcpping - send RMCP Ping to network hosts
SYNOPSIS
rmcpping [OPTION...] destination
DESCRIPTION
rmcpping uses the RMCP Ping request datagram to elicit an RMCP Pong response from a remote host. The utility can be used to verify if a
remote host supports RMCP or IPMI. The initial starting sequence number will be randomized. rmcpping will return 0 to the environment if
it receives atleast 1 response from the remote host. Otherwise, it exits with a value of 1.
OPTIONS
The following options are available
-h Output help menu.
-V Output version.
-c count
Stop after sending count packets.
-i interval
Wait interval seconds between sending each packet. The default is to wait for one second between each packet.
-I interface address
Set source address to specified interface address. Argument may be numeric IP address or name of device.
-t timeout
Time to wait for a response, in seconds. Default is five seconds.
-v Verbose output.
-s num Specify an initial starting sequence number. The default is to use a random initial sequence number.
-d Turn on debugging.
KNOWN ISSUES
It has been observed that some remote BMCs can get "confused" and delay packet responses if duplicate packets (with duplicate sequence num-
bers) are sent in succession very quickly. There is no known way to cleanly deal with a "confused" BMC other than the wait awhile.
Unlike ping(8), local network devicess (e.g. 127.0.0.1) cannot be "pinged".

I want to create a new user and grant him ONLY transfer files access to a specific directory where he can only upload and read the files. He should be restricted to this activity only.
