And to your issue: Some modern Linux distributions have higher security policy, which prevent rights inheritance on redirections. The reason is to have better security in situations, when an unprivileged user running SUID root programs, such as network diagnostic tools. Without this, it's possible to run something like ping -d -f something > /sbin/init ...with devastating success. To work around such limitation, try echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/pwm3_stop_output_enable -- WBR, Andrey Repin (hell-for-yahoo@xxxxxxxx) 10.06.2012, <16:47> Sorry for my terrible english... _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
