This is a bug. Thanks for helping us find it. In your case your home dir of user "vcr" is not writable. So it opts for /tmp/.freeipmi-vcr dir which already exist. Bug is, if it already exist, it should be re-used. Instead it returns error. Bala is fixing it. We will make a quick new release of this branch. For time being you can try to remove /tmp.freeipmi-vcr by hand and run ipmi-sensors. But problem is it will try to fetch SDR freshly every time. Or you can make your home dir writable for time being. -- Anand Babu GPG Key ID: 0x62E15A31 Blog [http://ab.freeshell.org] The GNU Operating System [http://www.gnu.org] _______________________________________________ Freeipmi-users mailing list Freeipmi-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freeipmi-users
