Hi! Has anyone gotten the Powerchute software running on FreeBSD under Linux emulation? The software is for monitoring and controlling UPS devices made by APC (www.apcc.com). I've gotten as far as the server and the x/motif client starting, but the client cannot authorize against the server. The server authenticates against a system account, 'pwrchute', and I think this is the core problem. I've tried both DES and md5 passwords, and also tried putting the account both in NIS and /etc/passwd. Since FreeBSD creates a master.passwd whereas Linux uses /etc/shadow, I've also tried making a symlink /etc/shadow -> /etc/master.passwd. Nope. Any ideas? /Palle To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
