Why doesn't prtdiag return temperature information available via lom?

I'm using the "gettemp" program to monitor/notify - this is available at:
   http://www.komar.org/
      -> Misc. Tech Stuff
      -> gettemp (disclaimer: I wrote it! ;-)
which basically uses the "prtdiag" command to get temperature info.

This is available on a number of machines, and is VERY handy to keep
an eye not only on the ambient (or close to ambient) temperatures,
but also CPU/etc. temperatures and auto-notify on overheats.
We've used this for years and it works pretty darn well;
even though the code is kinda ugly.

I have some spanking new V120's (nice boxes) that I have loaded
Solaris2.9 on and also added the LOM package.. The "prtdiag" command
does NOT appear to return any temperature info (even with the -v option),
but if one does a "lom -t", you get some data.

So obviousely it *IS* available from a hardware point of view;
but it would sure be nice if the prtdiag command returned it.

I have done some misc. searching, but have not come across
a patch or option for "prtdiag" ... has anyone else and/or
if someone from Sun is lurking, this would be a REALLY NICE PATCH! ;-)

Thanx,
alek
