Hi,

I have CentOS 4.4 installed on a system at an ISP and I am trying to setup lm_sensors.  It would be a lot easier to setup if I knew what motherboard I was using!  :-)

Is there any way of identifying the motherboard of a system remotely (via SSH)?

Try looking at the output from /sbin/dmidecode.  If the motherboard manufacturer did what they were supposed to, you should see the model number.  You might even get the right BIOS revision, if you're lucky.
