  It looks to me like RedHat Wolverine will ship with lm_sensors installed by 
default.  I wonder if the init scripts will somehow automatically use this.

   I'm really lucky that I heard about this problem on here.  The day I heard 
about it actually happened to fall on the same week that I had started 
playing with lm_sensors on my desktop and was planning to try them on my 
iSeries machine.
