On SPARC plus on older versions of Solaris  /usr/sbin/prtdiag used to
show exact CPU-fan speed and -temperature in degrees Celsius (at least
on Blade1000/2000/SF280R/N20). Newer versions only show "ok".

I'm not sure if this is a new feature of the prtdiag command, or
rather if it is related to the newer OBP version to which I upgraded
my boxes in January 2005. A look at the prtdiag code would reveal
this.

On x86 I'm not sure if /usr/sbin/smbios could be enhanced to query
temperature sensors from the BIOS, maybe the is an open-src tools for
this. Maybe Dennis Clarke has the right answer on blastwave.org (?).
