[Nut-upsuser] Smart-UPS with SuSE 9.0/Nut

[Chris Boyd]

I have a Dell PE 2850 connected via 940-0024C cable to serial port on the UPS mentioned above. 
I've used apt-get to install nut-2.0.2-3 and attempted to configure based on the documentation. 
So far I'm getting the following when I try to start ups daemon: 

server:/etc/ups # /etc/init.d/ups start
Starting service NUT:
-> Starting UPS driver:
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.0.2
Network UPS Tools (version 2.0.2) - APC Smart protocol driver
        Driver version 1.99.7, command table version 2.0

UPS myups at 10.133.1.51 is unavailable

When I try upsc I get the following: 

server:/etc/ups # upsc myups at 10.133.1.51:3493 
Error: Connection failure: Connection refused

I'm not sure if it's permissions:

server:/etc/ups # ls -la /etc/ups/
total 39
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root   184 Aug 31 14:56 .
drwxr-xr-x  68 root root  7208 Aug 31 14:54 ..
-rw-r-----   1 nut  nut   3827 Aug 31 14:56 ups.conf
-rw-r-----   1 nut  nut  11144 Aug 31 14:56 upsmon.conf

and...

ls -la /dev |grep ttyS0
crw-rw-rw-   1 nut  nut      4,  64 Aug 31 15:35 ttyS0

Heres' the confs 

ups.conf

MONITOR myups at 10.133.1.51 1 nut password master

[myups]
driver = apcsmart
port = /dev/ttyS0
sdtype = 0
desc = "automatically configured device"


upsmon:

...and the rest defaults
