This is interesting. Maybe some commands need RW and some are fine with read-only? In that case, ipmitool should be modified to only require write access when it really needs it. Anyway, if sensor access doesn't require write access then a libsensors-based implementation becomes possible. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
