I wasn't suggesting that you try the whole patch, but if you want to do
that, 'mv smartd.sh smartd.sh.in' after applying the patch.
The only thing you actually need to test is whether changing the defaults
from hard coded to checking to see if they are already set does the trick.
Brooks just reminded me that the variables should look like this instead of
what I wrote:
smartd_enable=${smartd_enable-NO}
smartd_pidfile=${smartd_pidfile-/var/run/smartd.pid}
