Hmmm, here is what I get from `mbmon -dA`, executed as root:

-----------------------------------------
SMBus[Intel8XX(ICH/ICH2/ICH3/ICH4/ICH5)] found, but No HWM available on it!!
Summary of Detection:
 * No monitors found.
InitMBInfo: Unknown error: 0
This program needs "setuid root"!!
Exit 1
-----------------------------------------

And here is what the README for mbmon says:

-----------------------------------------
If the following message,

   InitMBInfo: Operation not permitted
   This program needs "setuid root"!!

comes on FreeBSD, the system security level is too strict and IO port
access is not allowed (see kern_securelevel_enable, kern_securelevel
in /etc/rc.conf).  Make your security level lower, or just give up
to use the programs.
------------------------------------------

I'm pretty sure I don't have a secure level enabled.
I'm running FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE. Anyone have any ideas
how to get this working?
