IPMITOOL

As seen in freeipmi, the ipmitool seems to works perfectly. I've downloaded from ipmitool.sf.net (version 1.8.8), and compiled with

./configure && make && make install
The tests that I've made are:
root@it-adc-test11:~/MASSI/sw/bin# ./ipmitool -I lan -H 192.168.0.14 sensor get "CPU 1"

                         [Upper Non-critical going high]
As you can see, the Fan is not working. And the, the power:
