[Nagiosplug-devel] Missing character in plugin output

[Mark Clayton]

Bret & Feri,

Oh how embarrassing.. You are both right. HDTEMP is (null) because hddtemp
needs root privileges.

I assumed I would be rusty after all these yeas but not so much to miss
something this amateurish.

Thank you for your help and forgive me.

Blessings,
Mark Clayton
