   #some paranoid measures could reduce a third party abusing stage3 image to attempting to get USER/PASS for BMCs:
   # -Well, minimally, ignore requests if requesting node is not in spconfig mode (stage3)
   # -Option to generate a random password per 'getipmi' request.  This reduces the exposure to a D.O.S. hopefully
