On a multiuser environment not everybody want's to grant root rights to everyone. To have a daemon is the preferred way, which was configured by root with all the appropriate discs. Now every user has the right to ask this information.
I changed two files:
* hddsensorslist.cpp
* hddsensorslist.h
--> included in on small hdsens.tar
Via small socket messages the daemon is asked for actual temperature of the discs. I even included the old feature scanning for discs in /sys/block or /proc/ide (fallback) and the thing with pata, sata or scsi disc querying.
Feel free to ask for further information or to include it in the project. It was always very useful for me (and many others :-) ).
