I just installed the OpenIPMI-tools package with yum yesterday on
a Supermicro box that seems to be having overheating or fan
problems.  This is my first time looking into IPMI monitoring,
but looking at the contents of the OpenIPMI-tools rpm package, it
seems to be missing some of the configuration files necessary to
run things like the ipmievd daemon (e.g. no /etc/init.d/ipmievd
script, only /usr/share/ipmitool/ipmievd.init.redhat, and the
so sample of the /etc/sysconfig/ipmievd file).

Any suggestions on documentation covering configuration on CentOS
systems?  I have no problems with RTFM, if only I know where to
find TFM.
