NAME
     ipmiseld.conf - ipmiseld configuration file

DESCRIPTION
     The ipmiseld configuration file configures the ipmiseld daemon.

     The   default  configuration  file  loaded  is  /usr/local/etc/freeipmi/ip-
     miseld.conf.

     The configuration options that can be specified in the  configuration  file
     are  listed  below.  Each configuration option must be listed on a separate
     line. Arguments for an option are separated by any  amount  of  whitespace.
     Multiple  arguments  are  also  separated	by  whitespace.  Comments can be
     marked by using the pound sign ("#") character, and lines can be  continued
     on the next using backslash ("\").

     Note  that  it  is possible to list the username, password and other poten-
     tially sensitive information in the configuration file.  If  this	data  is
     stored  in  a configuration file, system administrators should limit access
     to this file.
