Thanks, Corey.

Getting there!  I've got a functioning ipmi_sim_lancontrol and
ipmitool works.  However we also use tools from freeipmi-1.1.5, and
this fails:

  ipmi-chassis --session-timeout 1999 --retransmission-timeout 1000 -h
10.99.1.3 -u ADMIN -p ADMIN --get-status -D LAN_2_0
  ipmi-chassis: privilege level cannot be obtained for this user

privilege level?  In my lan.conf I have this:

  priv_limit admin
  user 1 true  ""      "test"  user     10       none md2 md5 straight
  user 2 true  "ADMIN" "ADMIN" admin    10       none md2 md5 straight

Anything else you can think of?
