In IPMI2, there are two modes the BMC can regard the Role parameter. It can either consider it a 'max privilege' or 'match privilege'. It defaulted to 'match privilege' in order to enhance compatibility with some earlier BMC implementations that misinterpreted the specification in a way that allowed 'match privilege' to work but 'max privilege' to break without a specific workaround for that BMC. That BMC family is pretty much out of service and if the same issue arises later, we can put in auto-detect and workaround pretty cheaply. With this in mind, change the mode to look account up by name only since that is how 99% of ipmitool invocations are done and it also is a more straightforward model.

This is a pure python implementation of IPMI protocol. pyghmicons and pyghmiutil are example scripts to show how one may incorporate this library into python code
