Package: freeipmi-tools Version: 1.6.4-3 Severity: minor X-Debbugs-Cc: 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.
Debian FHS 3.0 states: > Utilities used for system administration (and other root-only > commands) are stored in /sbin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/local/sbin. This implies that not only the "other" commands but also the utilities for system-administration are "root-only" - which in the case of ipmi-console they clearly are not. I'm not familiar enough with other parts of freeipmi-tools, there might be more commands that share a similar situation. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.9.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages freeipmi-tools depends on: ii freeipmi-common 1.6.4-3 ii libc6 2.31-6 ii libfreeipmi17 1.6.4-3 ii libipmiconsole2 1.6.4-3 ii libipmidetect0 1.6.4-3 freeipmi-tools recommends no packages.
