Package: ipmitool Version: 1.8.8-3.1 Severity: wishlist
Hi, Plugins for Nagios that check the IPMI devices run with the user and group nagios. The IPMI device belong to the user and group root and it is inaccessible to other : $ ls -l /dev/ipmi0 crw-rw---- 1 root root 252, 0 2007-09-05 20:39 /dev/ipmi0 Can you, like ttyS0 device, create a "ipmi" group and add IPMI devices to the "ipmi" group ? $ ls -l /dev/ipmi0 crw-rw---- 1 root ipmi 252, 0 2007-09-05 20:39 /dev/ipmi0 This way, we can add the nagios user to the ipmi group and enable Nagios plugin to access to the IPMI devices. I do not know if this bug report should be sent to package ipmitool or of the package udev.
