    * I can look at the IPMI console when i get to that point, and verify that the node's console appears to be doing something other than !OpenStack.
    * I can ask Victor to tell me the node state.
- I'll pursue whichever of those comes back more quickly, and that will be it for this test.
+ During testing of item 3D, i was able to verify that bbn-w4 is at a PXE prompt, and thus is not running !OpenStack right now.

+Chaos's testing under Mac OS X 10.6.8:
+ * One-time setup:
+{{{
+sudo port install openvpn2
+sudo port install tuntaposx
+
+mkdir -p ~/tmp/exogeni-vpn
+cd ~/tmp/exogeni-vpn
+unzip ~/bbnadmins.zip
+
+cd bbnadmins
+chmod 600 bbnadmins.key

+ * One-time: use RENCI's DNS to look up the IPs we need to put into /etc/hosts (either do this from an SSH session on bbn-hn, or after connecting via VPN once):
+{{{
+$ host bbn-w1.bbn.xo 192.168.100.2
+Using domain server:
+Name: 192.168.100.2
+Address: 192.168.100.2#53

+{{{
+$ cat bbn.xo-hosts.txt

+# Static host entries for use with bbn.xo

+192.168.103.103 bbn-w3.bbn.xo
+192.168.103.104 bbn-w4.bbn.xo
+}}}
+ * Finally, per-invocation, do startup:
+{{{
+sudo kextload /opt/local/Library/Extensions/tun.kext
+cd ~/tmp/exogeni-vpn/bbnadmins
+sudo openvpn2 ./bbnadmins.conf
+sudo sh -c 'cat ./bbn.xo-hosts.txt >> /etc/hosts'
+}}}
+ * Now browse to `http://bbn-w1.bbn.xo`:
+   * Login at the dialogue
+   * Click: Continue
+   * Note: the IMM is one place we can get the interface MACs if we ever need them
+   * Tasks -> Remote Control -> Start Remote Control in Multi-User Mode
+     * this launched bbn-w1.bbn.xo Video Viewer (a java webstart app)
+     * i was able to login as chaos on that console
+     * i was able to sudo on that console
+   * IMM Control -> Port Assignments says which ports are open on this IMM (this is also in the config file)
+   * I can go to: [http://bbn-w1.bbn.xo/page/ibmccontrol_configsummary.html] to get a configuration summary, which i saved off by hand for future reference
+   * I imagine backing up the config is a pretty safe alternative
+     to viewing it, but don't want to muck around too much
+ * Logout
+ * Now browse to `http://bbn-w2.bbn.xo`:
+   * Login as before 
+   * Tasks -> Remote Control -> Start Remote Control in Multi-User Mode
+   * IMM Control -> Configuration File -> view the current configuration summary, and make a copy

+ * Now browse to `http://bbn-w4.bbn.xo`:
+   * Login as before 
+   * Tasks -> Remote Control -> Start Remote Control in Multi-User Mode
+     * the console here shows that bbn-w4 is at a PXE boot prompt
+   * IMM Control -> Configuration File -> view the current configuration summary, and make a copy
+     * Trying to get this config, i got a bunch of errors about trouble communicating with the IMM
+ * Per-invocation, do shutdown:
+   * ctrl-C to kill the openvpn connection
+   * remove the kernel module and the lines from /etc/hosts:
+{{{
+sudo kextunload /opt/local/Library/Extensions/tun.kext
+sudo vi /etc/hosts
+}}}
+
+Tim's testing under Ubuntu 10.10:
+ * Install and connect:
+{{{
+sudo apt-get install openvpn
+sudo openvpn --config bbnadmins.ovpn
+}}}
+ * He reported that he could login to the remote KVM for bbn-w1 (via X)
+
+Still to test here:
+ * Make sure i can actually successfully get the config for `bbn-w4`, or complain about the timeout issue if it recurs
+ * Do the check on `bbn-hn`
