Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around > http://mail.yahoo.com Edit /etc/smartd.conf The default behaviour of smartd is to auto-detect the drives, but the default distribution of smartd has smartd.conf set up to look for /dev/hda. Use (as root) # fdisk -l to find out which entries in /dev are your hard drives, then comment out all other entries in smartd.conf and add a line /dev/hd? -a for each of the drives you want smartd to check. (replace ? with the appropriate letter(s) for your own drives). The location for these entries in the file should be obvious. This causes smartd to to a complete check on the drive(s) at its standard interval. If you want to change the options, read the default smartd.conf, which details the available options. Or # man smartd TD
