[Nut-upsuser] [Nut-upsdev] UPS on Freenas

[John Lechanski]

Gents,
  Sorry for the .jpg taking up so much space.  I will not do that again.  I ran "usbconfig" as root and it came back "usbconfig: command not found"  I ran "pwd" and I am root, tried "lsusb" for giggles and it didn't work either. I thought about upgrading to Freenas 8.0 but I am used to the embedded version that I installed on a datastick...I didn't see a .img for 8.0 and was wondering how you installed it.  Thanks again for your help.

John
