Yes, thanks, that seems to have been it.  Got the FC3 core pkg.  I'm still
configuring, trying to decide where to put the files.  I had to create
/etc/modules.conf.  I'm not sure which /etc/rc* file to put stuff in;
rc.local seems better than rc or rc.sysinit.  If I should copy
/prog/init/lm_sensors.init to /etc/rc.d/init.d/lm_sensors for this stuff to
work, where is /prog?  There is already a file /etc/rc.d/init.d/lm_sensors.
