[Nut-upsuser] FreeBSD 6.1, MGE Ellipse ASR600USBS, newhidups & upsd

[Eric Masson]

Hello,

I'm facing problems as I'm installing NUT to monitor a MGE Ellipse 
ASR600USBS on a FreeBSD 6.1 box.

UPS is recognized as :
ugen0: MGE UPS SYSTEMS ELLIPSE, rev 1.10/42.41, addr 2

I'm temporarily using root profile (devfs/devd scripts not modified atm).

newhidups starts & runs fine (unplugging mains makes newhidups outputs 
lots of data when started with -DDDD flags)

When I launch upsd, it barfs vith :
emss at box:~> /usr/local/sbin/upsd -u root
Password:
Network UPS Tools upsd 2.0.4
Connected to UPS [mge]: newhidups-auto
Synchronizing........ giving up

I've tried to stop and relaunch it many times but output is always the same.

Relevant config files are :

# Network UPS Tools: example ups.conf
user = root
[mge]
       driver = newhidups
         port = auto
         desc = "MGE Ellipse ASR600USBS"

# Network UPS Tools: example upsd configuration file
ACL all 0.0.0.0/0
ACL localhost 127.0.0.1/32

ACCEPT localhost
REJECT all

MAXAGE 30

# Network UPS Tools: Example upsd.users
[admin]
         password = xxxx
         allowfrom = localhost
         actions = SET
         instcmds = ALL

[monuser]
         password = yyyy
         allowfrom = localhost
         upsmon master

# Network UPS Tools: example upsmon configuration
RUN_AS_USER root

HOSTSYNC 15

Any idea, anyone ?
