If you want to use an APC UPS you might need to compile nut from ports (or download and compile the latest version).
For some reason, the newhidups/hidups drivers are not in the 4.1 package and are not compiled when using vanilla ports (those are the drivers needed by most usb APC UPS, look it up to be sure). There seems to be a problem in the hidups driver (somewhere it requires /usr/linux/something) so it never gets compiled...and for some reason the newhidups driver doesn't get compiled either. I had to add to do ./configure --with-drivers=newhidups to compile the newhidups driver. My two cents, Jd On 5/20/07, John Nietzsche <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I would like to try nut!
