Brian,

The ups.conf is:

# Network UPS Tools: ups.conf
[ht-server_ups]
	driver = hidups
	port =   /dev/hiddev0              
	desc = "APC Backup UPS CS350 Controller

The upsd file is:

# This default configuration only gives access to localhost.  To allow
# other hosts or networks to connect, see the documentation and change
# these lines.

ACL all 0.0.0.0/0
ACL localhost 127.0.0.1/32

ACCEPT localhost
REJECT all

I built the install using:

./configure --with-user=ups_control --with-drivers=hidups

And steps 2-4 in the online install.

We'll configure the RC files once we get the upsd issues resolved.

FYI: we are starting driver and upsd as root.

Pat

PC,

What do your config files in /usr/local/ups/etc look like?  As well, did
you build from source?  The RPMS located here
http://migpc.net/yum/RH9/RPMS/ work quite well on all of the RHEL
releases and provide proper RC scripts for starting the services
automatically at boot time.
