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.

Many thanks

You could try using the "dmidecode" utility, available as part of the "kernel-utils" RPM. The first part of the output would probably identify the motherboard information.
