IPMItool returns false value on PowerEdge 1950

[Halomoan Chow]

Thanks Krishnaprasad

I got following output :

# omreport about

Product name : Server Administrator Install Core (subscription)
Version      : 5.0.0
Copyright    : Copyright (C) Dell Inc. 1995-2006. All rights reserved.
Company      : Dell Inc.

So i thing I have OMSA version 5 on my CentOS 4.3 with
ipmitool-1.8.2-1.rhel4.i386.rpm and i got false output of the
temperature sensor.

Sad, What can I do then ?
:(

Regards,

Halomoan
