Hello!
  Most filesystems (in particular - reiserfs, jfs, xfs, nfs); maybe,
some legacy installation of ext2/3 too) always return dirent->dt_type =
DT_UNKNOWN, so libsensors fails to parse /etc/sensors.d.
  Also, symlink (DT_LNK) can point to directory, or FIFO/socket/device
(very bad!) - current check insufficient anyways.
  I've attached [somewhat hackerish] patch to solve both problem.
=== cut !man 3 readdir ===
Currently,  only  some  file systems (among them: ext2, etx3, and ext4)
have full support returning the file type in d_type.  All  applications
must properly handle a return of DT_UNKNOWN.
=== cut ===
  Maybe, it would be better to remove dt_type check and use stat() always.
