The software is for monitoring and controlling UPS devices > made by APC (www.apcc.com). I have PowerChute Plus v4.51 (p451_libc.tar) running (upsd and xpowerchute communicating on the same system). However, I have no need to monitor/configure remote hosts so I responded with 'n' when prompted with "Do you currently have TCP/IP Installed?" during the install. I also responded with 'y' when prompted with "Do you want to execute command files as root?" so I didn't need to create a 'pwrchute' account on the system (FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT: Sun Sep 26 15:04:47 EDT 1999). > I've gotten as far as the server and the x/motif client starting, but > the client cannot authorize against the server.
