You can not use OpenIPMI/IPMITool and FreeIPMI together for inband
access(ie accessing IPMI on the IPMI machine itself).  You have to rmmod
openipmi kernel modules and try freeipmi for inband access.

FreeIPMI 0.1.3 is absolete and we recommend to use FreeIPMI 0.2.0.
FreeIPMI 0.2.0 tools support both inband and out-of-band.

BTW, We fixed lot of bugs after releasing FreeIPMI-0.2.0-beta0.  I
uploaded latest tarball.  You can get it from
ftp://ftp.zresearch.com/pub/freeipmi/qa-release/freeipmi-cvs-20060123.tar.bz2

Please try this for inband and out-of-band and tell me how they perform.

Thanks,

Bala
