When I try to start the APC Smart monitor demon, I get the following error: ns1# /usr/local/libexec/nut/apcsmart /dev/cuaa1 Network UPS Tools - APC Smart protocol driver 0.54 (0.44.3) apcsmart: Can't uu_lock cuaa1: creat error: Permission denied Browsing the archives it was states that the file /var/state/ups/apcsmart-cuaa1 must exist and it must be writeable by UUCP (and it is). The /dev/cuaa1 device has permissions set to 666. What else could it be? The nut docs states that the drivers give up root before they open the devices. It did not state what user they run as at that point. Anyway, since the permissions are 666 on cuaa1 and 777 on apcsmart-cuaa1, I suspect that that it not the problem.
