Hi all,
In response to my other DRAC thread I received a reply off-list from a
Dell employee who pointed out that the firmware source is in fact online
and can be downloaded at:
http://linux.dell.com/files/drac5/source/
Given that it's dated at February this year I'm surprised nobody seemed
to know about it!
I've downloaded the .iso and checked it all out. Some code is missing
(e.g. the C library) but other code for Dell's own utilities is
included, which is great to see given that they didn't have to release it.
At least now I know why you can SSH in as root but end up as racuser,
and how BusyBox decides which commands you are and aren't allowed to run!
If anyone has any plans to start working with the code, please keep me
in the loop so we don't duplicate any effort!
Cheers,
Adam.
