I changed all types to Auth_Type_Md5 allowed only and it seems to work.
However, subsequent changes (bmc-config -i) don't seem to change anything,
I tried both the import and key-pair parameter. So now my config is stuck
with some test settings :(

Please be my guest, I will be pleased to beta test as much as possible.

Another strange thing; my ipmi board now only reacts when the power is
off. If my kernel crashes for whatever reason, I'm not able to reset the
machine. I guess this isn't really normal behaviour ...
