It is convenient on my various linux boxen to use lm_sensors to retrieve 
apparently accurate temps. for various system components (CPU's), as 
well as data on fan speeds, etc. Under FreeBSD (9.3R-p21), sysctl 
provides some of this info, but apparently inaccurately. It would be 
sweet to fix that minor issue, seems like it would be a bit more than 
just sweet for remote servers, etc. Do I file this as a problem report 
of some sort ? If so, how do I go about doing that :-) ? TIA & have a 
nice weekend.
