I was looking through the fiendish template in the MM and I came to wonder how a creature would use its smite good ability if it has no ability to determine if the attacker is good. How do you lot deal with this?

Smite Evil: Once per day, a paladin of 2nd level or higher may attempt to smite evil with one normal melee attack. She adds her Charisma modifier (if positive) to the paladin's attack roll and deals 1 extra point of damage per level. If the paladin accidentally smites a creature that is not evil, the smite has no effect but it is still used up for that day. Smite evil is a supernatural ability.
