Bug Description

Binary package hint: smartmontools

I have installed smartmontools, and expected it to start, and even start on every boot there after, however after boot I run
$ /etc/init.d/smartmontools status and get
 * smartd is not running

Then I check if the rc.d scripts are in place and here I see
$ ls -l `find /etc/rc*.d/ -name "*smartmontools"`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2009-06-22 09:49 /etc/rc1.d/K20smartmontools -> ../init.d/smartmontools
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2009-06-22 09:49 /etc/rc2.d/S20smartmontools -> ../init.d/smartmontools
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2009-06-22 09:49 /etc/rc3.d/S20smartmontools -> ../init.d/smartmontools
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2009-06-22 09:49 /etc/rc4.d/S20smartmontools -> ../init.d/smartmontools
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2009-06-22 09:49 /etc/rc5.d/S20smartmontools -> ../init.d/smartmontools

So something is not working.

I have this problem both on my laptop (Kubuntu 9.04) and server (ubuntu-server)

You need to modify /etc/default/smartmontools to enable smartd.

This is more or less a duplicate of bug 103681, do you agree?
