The agent plugin smart was rewritten to be compatible with POSIX, and is now
available under the new name smart_posix. In particular, the new plugin works
with FreeBSD. With this Werk, the new plugin smart_posix will be shipped by
the bakery. The new plugin requires smartctl version 7.2 or newer to be
installed. Thus, a user must update smartctl before deploying the new plugin
via the bakery.
The old plugin smart will continue to work as before, but it is only available
via older versions of Checkmk.
