Alright, I will report about incorrect input in this version itself. Near future is immediately after first official release :)

How soon is "major face list in near future" suppposed to be? I consider informing the user of incorrect input as fundamental to virtually any tool.

bmc-config has matured enough to take a major face lift in near future. Planning to push the real job of config file parsing to Scheme and export lower level primitives. Key names and config file format will change.

For now remainig silent for unknown keys is expected behaviour.

When an invalid key name is entered with the -k option, bmc-config executes without producing an error message, giving the impression that the request was successful. If someone had a 1 character typo in the key name, they would not realize it and assume that the key they had intended to enter was successfully updated.

jruscio@cdcdev:~/freeipmi_ft$ sudo bmc-config -i -k "completejunk=7"
jruscio@cdcdev:~/freeipmi_ft$
