Ok, previously I had:

/dev/sda -a -d scsi -m some at email.com
/dev/sdb -a -d scsi -m some at email.com

which produced this:

Dec  4 01:33:18 server smartd[17829]: smartd received

Now changing to this:

/dev/sda -H -m support at npgx.com.au
/dev/sdb -H -m support at npgx.com.au

produces this:

Remember I'm running on FC2, on my FC1 and FC3
machines I have no issues, only with FC2.

How can this be fixed?
