Well, I fixed it. I'm uploading a new bsdutils release & file a bug along with my patches to the maintainer. > numbers...

This may be somthing to ask on the sparclinux list... The UPS-HOWTO tells us to use USR1 if no SIGPWR available. However, SIGUSR1 already in used in init :-( In fact, the latest upsd package only makes use of SIGPWR. I move this discussion to the sparclinux list.
