Re: [Freeipmi-users] ipmi-sensors: password verification timeout

[Albert Chu]

Usually this means that the password you have doesn't work.  When you
do:

/usr/sbin/ipmi-sensors -h 192.168.160.24 -u xxxxx -p xxxxx -l user
 --quiet-cache --sdr-cache-recreate --interpret-oem-data
 --output-sensor-state --ignore-not-available-sensors

On the command line, does it work?  Or even something more basic like:

/usr/sbin/ipmi-sensors -h 192.168.160.24 -u xxxxx -p xxxxx
