After having a router literally melt during a period of record-high

the temperature of some of my systems.
I've got two FreeBSD systems running 5.4. Both use acpi, and several
acpi sysctl variables are present, but the hw.acpi.thermal family is
missing.
You'll probably have better luck by installing xmbmon and either
setting up an exec line in snmpd.conf that runs "mbmon -T1 -c1", or
writing a little cgi that runs mbmon, and polling that remotely.
Thanks. That seems to work. Now I just have to read the manual to make
sure I understand what it's telling me. I had assumed that acpi was the
only way to get to the thermometer, but I see now that it isn't.
