Hi!

Has anyone gotten the Powerchute software running on FreeBSD under Linux
emulation? The software is for monitoring and controlling UPS devices
made by APC (www.apcc.com).

I've gotten as far as the server and the x/motif client starting, but
the client cannot authorize against the server. The server authenticates
against a system account, 'pwrchute', and I think this is the core
problem. I've tried both DES and md5 passwords, and also tried putting
the account both in NIS and /etc/passwd. Since FreeBSD creates a
master.passwd whereas Linux uses /etc/shadow, I've also tried making a
symlink /etc/shadow -> /etc/master.passwd. Nope.

Any ideas?
