At least some hint to the user would be nice. Since completion code 0xD4 is 
returned (insufficient Privilege), this could be potentially in lined into the 
output

I'm also working on integration of Fujitsu specific OEM sensor information into 
freeipmi, at least this would show some better information for the SEL than 
today when running without -l admin but with --interpret-oem-data.
