And I actually gave it an extra thought and I think this is not something that needs and has to be fixed. Because you're not going to police all arguments, which were passed once or N times, in which order, are you? So what makes '-a' and '-Y' special? Nothing. It's just a mere deficiency of getopt() or perhaps it's misuse or perhaps just a lack of thought in ipmitool's design. Only shadow knows. Please, close the ticket as ``Won't fix'' since this is not something that needs fixing. Thanks!
