   message: <<EOM
 smartmontools has been installed
 
 To check the status of drives, use the following:
 
 	%%PREFIX%%/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/ad0	for first ATA/SATA drive
 	%%PREFIX%%/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/da0	for first SCSI drive
 	%%PREFIX%%/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/ada0	for first SATA drive
 
 To include drive health information in your daily status reports,
 add a line like the following to /etc/periodic.conf:
 	daily_status_smart_devices="/dev/ad0 /dev/da0"
 substituting the appropriate device names for your SMART-capable disks.
 
 To enable drive monitoring, you can use %%PREFIX%%/sbin/smartd.
 A sample configuration file has been installed as
 %%PREFIX%%/etc/smartd.conf.sample
 Copy this file to %%PREFIX%%/etc/smartd.conf and edit appropriately
 
 To have smartd start at boot
 	echo 'smartd_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
+
+To enable verification of the drivedb updates, install the "security/gnupg"
+package.
