Thanks. ssh is working now, but I see no chance to deposit a public key 
for a "seamless" authentification so that I get the ability to execute a
single command via ssh, out of a script...

The idea is to use the DRAC4 as a STONITH device:

In a HA cluster, after the second node has taken the failover, he (the 
second) shall powerdown the failing server.
This would be really easy to achieve with something like

   ssh root at drac4_port_of_first_server "serveraction powerdown"

if there were not the necessity to enter a password interactively...

Do I have any chance this way, or is there an other way?

Cheers -e
