This isn't good. It suggests that the HP firmware might be returning
bad/poor information in the Get Authentication Capabilities phase of
IPMI. Does ipmipower work if you also specify the authcap workaround?
(-W authcap).
If it does work, then there is a bug. Perhaps you can send me a --debug
output and we can take a look to figure out what the bug is.
