Hi, as reported in debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=977949

The ipmi-console command can be executed by any normal user and doesn't
require "system administrator" (aka "root") permission., IMHO, it should
hence be installed to /usr/bin, and not to /usr/sbin., The fact that you
are accessing an IPMO SoL console of another machine, (of which you may
be the system administrator) doesn't mean you have to be the system
administrator of the client running ipmi-console.

is there a reason why it should be kept in sbin instead bin?

thanks for any reply and sorry for my bad english
