smartmontools@6.20 - smartd automated scanning failing

Description

Smartmontools/smartd is no longer scanning drives when I have the appropriate configuration file at /opt/local/etc/smartd.conf configured in Yosemite.

Here's the relevant line in /opt/local/etc/smartd.conf to run a short scan at 5AM every morning and then a long scan at 6AM:

/dev/disk0 -H -l error -l selftest -f -s (S/../.././05|L/../.././06) -m xxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx

I took a look at the console, and saw the following lines when the scanning was supposed to occur:

Nov 25 05:22:24 Ubences-Intel-iMac.local smartd[152]: Authorization, server not available
Nov 25 05:22:24 Ubences-Intel-iMac.local smartd[152]: Device: /dev/disk0, execute Short Self-Test failed.
Nov 25 06:22:25 Ubences-Intel-iMac.local smartd[152]: Device: /dev/disk0, execute Long Self-Test failed.

What stands out to me is the first line "Authorization, server not available".

I've tried looking for info on this particular output, but I can't find anything to trace back to how this is occurring?

I think this might not have been working since Mavericks. It used to work perfectly a few Mac OS X releases ago.

I'm running the latest version of smartmontools that MacPorts has available [6.2] on Yosemite.

Below is output from running smartctl -a /dev/disk0. The test log shows when the automated scanning used to work properly.

Does the recent update to version 6.3 solve this issue? See r129182.

comment:2 Changed 10 years ago by thatrat@…

Unfortunately, no:

12/8/14 7:33:23.362 PM smartd[2669]: Authorization, server not available
12/8/14 7:33:23.362 PM smartd[2669]: Device: /dev/disk0, execute Long Self-Test failed.
12/8/14 8:03:23.519 PM smartd[2669]: Device: /dev/disk0, execute Short Self-Test failed.

However, running the daemon manually does work:
