Hello :-)

I did have 'some' success, but it tended to give very very variable
results for temperatures, I didnt manage to get any information at all
about the fans etc.

Sadly I was unable to finish getting these machines (4x dual opteron 240) 
working with lmsensors fully before they decided they werent going to 
pay me my 3000 pounds project completion fee and were instead going to 
vansih off the face of the earth with the servers.

These people went by the name of 'Sob Atlantic LDA', 'HitClix' and 
'Esports Planet' (in portugal), they also were working closely with the 
people who were running the Server Centre at Porto for VIA networks (spain 
+ portugal), they (the ones who didnt pay me) had admins that didnt
want to use serial consoles or console servers because they were
'legacy' instead they wanted to put keyboards on everyhing... (literally
the most incompetant server admins I have ever met)

such a shame that 4 very very nice 64bit machines lovingly put together by
DNUK now apparently run windows 2000.
