Public bug reported:

freeipmi: 1.4.11
Ubuntu Bionic
MAAS 2.5.2

Using ipmipower with opensesspriv work-around enabled to power up/down my 
servers.
However, due to my network connectivity, some packages may face longer latency 
on delivery.

I can see on tcpdump that messaging follows:

1) ipmipower --> RMCP+ OpenSession Request --> BMC
2) ipmipower --> RMCP+ OpenSession Request --> BMC (retransmission)
3) BMC       --> RMCP+ OpenSession Response --> ipmipower
4) ipmipower --> RMCP+ RAKP Message 1 --> BMC
5) ipmipower --> RMCP+ RAKP Message 1 --> BMC (retransmission)
6) BMC       --> RMCP+ RAKP Message 2 --> ipmipower
7) ipmipower replies ICMP Port Unreachable to BMC

I've set all available timeouts, as described on ipmipower manual, to bigger 
than 5 seconds, still, retransmissions were taking place before 1st second was 
over (as per tcpdump timestamps).
Also tried to set timeouts via /etc/freeipmi, with similar results.

I've pulled 1.6.3 from [1] and compiled on a brand new VM (to make sure
only my commands were using ipmipower) and I've got the same result.
