(In reply to Giacomo Comes from comment #4) > That would be /dev/ipmi0 Many thanks ! Could it be also /dev/ipmidev/0 ? I am thinking also to take care of all possibility of ipmi devices and maybe these both lines could handle all ipmi devies: DeviceAllow=/dev/ipmi* rw DeviceAllow=/dev/ipmidev/* rw Unfortunately, I do not have any machines with BCM. Would you be willing to test these lines in /usr/lib/systemd/system/ddclient.service please?
