Hi, Short introduction, I'm a Fedora contributer and since I'm involved in lm_sensors upstream, I've also become a co-maintainer of lm_sensors in Fedora. Fedora's lm_sensors package does not install a fancontrol service. I guess you installed the fancontrol.init file from /usr/share/doc/lm_sensors-2.10.3 into /etc/rc.d/init.d yourself? Or did it end up there some otherway ? Eitherway since we Fedora does not install it, we also do not support it. Please report this issue upstream to the lm_sensors mailinglist and / or ticket system: http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors http://www.lm-sensors.org/report/ Thanks!
