Appearently, palimpsest does some of what smartctl does: accesses the SMART data on the drive. This is completely independent of smartd. Smartd is a daemon that runs in the background and periodicly accesses the SMART data on the drive(s) and if there is some sort of notworthly problem or condition (too hot, bad sectors being remapped, etc.), it logs it and sends an E-Mail to root@localhost.
Ah! The light just came on.
Thanks ever so much for the explanation!
