Hi, I have CentOS 4.4 installed on a system at an ISP and I am trying to setup lm_sensors. It would be a lot easier to setup if I knew what motherboard I was using! :-) Is there any way of identifying the motherboard of a system remotely (via SSH)? Many thanks Regards, Dan

If the motherboard manufacturer did what they were supposed to, you should see the model number. You might even get the right BIOS revision, if you're lucky.> > Many thanks > > Regards, Dan > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centosWilliam Dinkel Chief Technology Officer Team HPC http://www.teamhpc.com wdinkel at teamhpc.com 1-866-TEAMHPC -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The first part of the output would probably identify the motherboard information. -Greg
