MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I recently hooked up a UPS (APC Smart-UPS) to my FreeBSD (3.4) machine and installed upsd-2.0 from the ports collection on the CD ROM set. After I installed it, I couldn't find any configuration documentation for it and looked at the upsd.conf file in /usr/local/etc and it looked like their wasn't much configuration needed and that the upsd.conf file was pretty much "ready to go". Each time I tried to start the upsd daemon from /usr/local/sbin/./upsd, it completely locked my system up and I had to do a cold shutdown. In the upsd.conf file, it has the following entry: device "/dev/cuaa0" speed 2400 read-timeout 2 write-block-size 1 write-block-delay 50 queue-size 64 Shouldn't I have an entry for /dev/cuaa0 in my /etc/fstab file? There is a comm cable that goes from the back of the UPS to the comm port on the back of my PC. Isn't this what /dev/cuaa0 is for? Do I need to compile support for it in my kernel? Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to crash my system again. Thanks.
