Hello, I am trying to compile NUT 0.42.0 for my Freebsd 3.3 stable machine with a smartups 700. The permissions on my serial device are as follows: crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 28, 128 Oct 25 13:49 /dev/cuaa0 I am configuring NUT with the uid of 66 which is uucp and a gid of 68 which is dialer. The make and install go fine. After I have configured the etc directory for ups and I run /usr/local/ups/bin/apcsmart /dev/cuaa0 I get the following: Network UPS Tools - APC Smart protocol driver 0.20 (0.42.0) /dev/cuaa0 is locked by another process I am going to take a stab and say this is the locking issue with freebsd and the serial port and this program. I have tried different UID's as well making a dedicated user for Nut and setting the permissions on the serial port for this user and I get the same response. Is there a work around present for this???? If so please let me know. I finally got over the gd library hurdle and am very interested getting this working on our servers here. Thanks in advance.
