Where does this message appear (syslog, screen, ...) ?

Which smartd messages appear in syslog ?

Does smartd work if started manually as a daemon (no option) or in debug 
mode (option '-d' or '-q onecheck', see man page for details) ?

Smartd never issues a message which contains "smartd(timeout)", so this 
message is possibly from an OpenBSD specific startup script. You might 
want to report this to the maintainer of the OpenBSD smartmontools package.
