 All,
 
 The current CVS version of smartmontools
 http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net now has support for FreeBSD.
 
 A couple of notes:
 
 1) SCSI support is there, but has not been highly tested.  It uses CAM, so
 any version of FreeBSD with CAM should work (hopefully)
 
 2) ATA support requires ATAng, or a fairly recent CURRENT. 
 
 I do plan on eventually creating a /usr/ports/systutil/smartmontools and
 submitting to the appropriate place, but haven't gotten there yet.
 
 Please try it out and send any problem reports to the smartmon-support
 mailing list.
 
 Thanks,
 Ed
