Attention users of network IPMI

[Tom Joseph]

Hello,

Based on  feedback from the team writing management scripts for OpenBMC. 
There is a suggestion to
support the "-U" parameter when running the IPMI over network, to keep 
the script consistent across
multiple BMC implementations.

The support currently in  OpenBMC for the IPMI user accounts is the 
nameless account and the -U option
is not needed and only the -P option is needed. With the proposed 
change, "-U admin" is needed, for the
session setup to succeed. "root"  username was not preferred so that the 
user does not get confused with the
linux user account.

IPMITool usage with the proposed change:

ipmitool -I lanplus -H x.x.x.x -U admin -P 0penBmc <cmd>
