I have a system with two Seagate 18 GB U320 SCSI hard disks and recently
added a Seagate 200 GB. I turned smartd on to make sure everything is
working correctly.

I noticed that /var/log/messages has lines like:


Sep 24 22:38:07 smartd: smartd started

Is this something about which I should be concerned? (I noticed that
/dev/hda is listed but /dev/sda and /dev/sdb are not.)

You could run smartctl -a /dev/hda and see what's changing, or you could
poke around in /etc/smartd.conf and correct/add the entries to send you
email when something changes.
