smcFanControl killed my MacBookPro

Well,
smcFanControl is a wonderful little app. it has made it possible for me to use my Mac on my lap. I did however select the "Auto apply settings after launch" option. This turned out to be a big mistake. Long story short, my MacBookPro would log in, and then just hang after the login prompt. Solution:
- Boot to single user mode (hold down "s" at boot till the wheel spins)
- remount filesystem rw (mount -rw /)
- and kill the smcfancontrol plist file in your preferences (com.eidac.smcFanControl.plist)

Voila. Mac back in action...

Hi,

I am the developer of the smcFanControl app. This is the first time such an issue has been reported to me. I am really interested to find out, what could have caused it. Can you please contact me by mail (holtmann@mac.com)?

Best,

Hendrik
