The tricky part about installing on OS X is the integration with the
shutdown system. I currently have a laptop running OS X, and my Cube
just kicked the bucket, so I have not spent the time to figure out how
to have the OS call NUT's shutdown script at the right time to turn
off the UPS at the battery-low signal.

Then again, you can still monitor remote systems with the Fink package.

As for dependencies, you need libusb for a USB UPS, although you
should be able to use Fink's libusb for that.

Strange. By "fully up-to-date", you mean that you have run "fink
selfupdate" since installing?

Also, is this 10.4.9 system an upgrade from 10.3?

What does "fink --version" return?
