I think it will be a god idea to change the driver to do so. This may be make the window much closer for collisions. I never set values via IPMI by myself explicitly, so the problems may be solved after the changes... >> (...) >> At the moment I use BMC only for remote console access. >> Is there a way to integrate ipmi sensors(?) in sensord I haven't much >> knowledge about ipmi-tools? >> I want to get syslog-entries and alarmbell like at sensord. > Unfortunately not.

So understand this as feature-request... ;-) I think support of IMPI sensor reading will expand the usability of the libsensors / sensord - explicitly on server-systems. _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
