weird precision 370/380 BIOS question

[Gary Gatling]

Greetings,

Recently I've been asked to update the Sun eeprom passwords we use on all 
of our sunblade 150 workstations. I am going to use the Solaris "eeprom" 
command in combination with "expect" to change that password on all these 
Sun systems.

I wonder if there would be a way to do something similar with a Precision 
370/380 running Red Hat Linux? Could I log in as root via ssh to a 
workstation and run some series of commands to change the BIOS 
security password? Or must this only be done manually by traveling to each 
workstation and rebooting it and changing settings by hand?

Just curious to see if such a thing would even be possible... (`cause we 
have 400+ boxes running red hat)

Cheers,
