The upcoming version of OpenBSD has better buffer-overflow protection, and can ease the burden of systems monitoring through a new sensor interface framework.Open BSD 3.9 will include a new sensor framework to allow system administrators to monitor the environmental conditions of servers running OpenBSD.

Have I just imagined using i2c and lm_sensors on linux for the last 5 years then?

Frankly, I'd rather have the former.

That's not true. The sensors get stuck under various sysctls with various numeric names and you have to go figure out which sensors do what and what the acceptable range of values is for them, then add them to sensorsd.conf.

"Regarding specifically the "i2c" subsystem: in the Linux world there is the lm-sensors package, which requires all sorts of hand-configuration for each specific machine. In OpenBSD, we carefully probe for the devices, and it should just work, on every single PC, without any configuration. Thus, pretty much every OpenBSD 3.9 machine will have some sort of sensor now."

If nobody helps WHY the hell do OpenSSH-Programmers care for "portable"-Versions?

And ofcourse less junk means more bandwidth. :-)
Well, that was kinda the gist of the comment from an OpenSSH developer, don't remember who.

I have P3 boards with and without sensors support.
You can check the supported devices on the Hardware-page.

For yet unknown reasons, the 3.9 release and the sendmail bug did meet in the murphy time/space continuum.

However, in the mean time, all they seem to be able to come up with is an infinite number of sendmail.cf files.
