Some BMCs aren't playing by the specs and ignore "Get Channel Cipher Suites" prior to establishing session, so it takes some time (10 second by default) until ipmitool gives up and uses cipher suite 3.

I suppose there should be some limit so it doesn't hang there for so long.

Also it outputs "Unable to Get Channel Cipher Suites" to the default (non-verbose) output.

BTW does anybody know why this line
src/plugins/lanplus/lanplus.c:2355
is here?
It looks that it appeared in 2006 in commit d572add.

Some BMCs are ignoring it, causing needless delay.

The "fixed" version is available in CentOS and although it works faster than before, it still prints "Unable to Get Channel Cipher Suites".
