+mbpfan (fan control daemon for Apple MacBookPro machines)
+
+A simple daemon to control fan speed on all MacBook/MacBook Pros
+(probably all Apple computers) for Linux Kernel 3 and newer.
+
+After installation you must add below to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+
+if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.mbpfan ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.mbpfan start
+fi
+
+and ensure /etc/rc.d/rc.mbpfan is exec (0755)
+
+Also edit /etc/mbpfan.conf and uncomment min_fan1_speed & max_fan1_speed
+I have found a min of 3000 and max 6200 work well for my mbp.
