I don't think anybody said Solaris doesn't have S.M.A.R.T. support.

We do have Sun "authentic" hardware here (where can I buy fakes?) and
temperature monitoring works just fine since they have a service processor.
That must make us "real pros".

What's missing is a way to retrieve temperature information from the cheap
sensors present in every x86 motherboard manufactured in the past few years.
