I'm trying to configure nut-4.5.0 under FreeBSD-4.3-STABLE, installed from ports. The generic ups driver seems to start fine. Invoked as "/usr/local/libexec/nut/genericups -t 5 /dev/cuaa1", it reports: ,---- | Network UPS Tools - Generic UPS driver 0.50 (0.45.0) | UPS type: Tripp Lite UPS with Lan2.2 interface (black 73-0844 cable) `---- which seems to look fine. The permissions for cuaa1 device is 660, uucp:uucp. I have the following in upsd.conf: ,----[ upsd.conf ] | UPS tripplite /var/state/ups/genericups-cuaa1 genericups -t 5 /dev/cuaa1 | ACL all 0.0.0.0/0 | ACL localhost 127.0.0.1/32 | | ACCESS grant monitor localhost | ACCESS deny all all `---- And upsd complains at startup, that: ,---- | Network UPS Tools upsd 0.45.0 | Warning: Data for UPS [tripplite] is stale at startup `---- Searching the mailing lists suggests that this is a pretty bad warning, so I won't mention how the other utilities from NUT package fail to work: I presume that this is because upsd is not set up correctly. However, `ps' shows both `genericups' and `upsd' processes running after this worning (they run as user uucp). ,----[ ls -ld /var/state/ups ] | drwxrwxrwx 2 uucp uucp 512 Jul 8 20:21 /var/state/ups `---- As you see, the directory where the data file is supposed to go is world-writeable, so I don't think that this is a permissions problem. Would anyone suggest what I may be doing wrong? The unit is a brand-new Tripp Lite InternetOffice 500, with black 73-0844 cable (as the documentation suggests). The kernel seems to have no problems with the serial port: ,----[ dmesg | grep sio1 ] | sio1 at port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa0 | sio1: type 16550A `---- Any ideas greately appreciated, -- Arcady Genkin i=1; while 1, hilb(i); i=i+1; end To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
