Is there any advantage, > or will my system not freeze if I use SMB? healthd - and similar things - pokes at the locations that system system monitoring hardware typically lives at looking for things. If it misindentifies the hardware, the results are unpredictable. Since some of the hardware monitors work *only* with SMB, it may well work. Of course, it's still just poking the appropriate locations, so bad things can still happen if you get a misindentification. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?
