what about other drivers? if user have specified some driver in config file, then
this driver is always used, right?

As I understand it, some of the drivers (such as snmp-ups, and the HAL- based drivers) cannot shut the UPS down themselves - they only signal the computer to shut down.

for Fedora 11, output of:

for f in `find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -executable `; do echo $f; ldd $f | grep
/usr ; echo; done

There is a list of USB and serial drivers in drivers/Makefile.am, so I suppose we could add a target that calculates library dependencies *only* for the drivers that can actually shut the UPS down.

./usbhid-ups
libusb-0.1.so.4 => /usr/lib64/libusb-0.1.so.4 (0x00000036fe600000)
       libssl.so.8 => /usr/lib64/libssl.so.8 (0x0000003d07000000)
libcrypto.so.8 => /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.8 (0x000000379c400000)
       libgssapi_krb5.so.2 => /usr/lib64/libgssapi_krb5.so.2
(0x0000003d06c00000)
       libkrb5.so.3 => /usr/lib64/libkrb5.so.3 (0x0000003d06800000)
libk5crypto.so.3 => /usr/lib64/libk5crypto.so.3 (0x00000036f6200000)
       libkrb5support.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libkrb5support.so.0
(0x00000036f5200000)

We could do better here. IIRC, the only reason why we link usbhid-ups against OpenSSL is for calculating the hash of a HID descriptor, and that mode does not seem to be used by default (and would never be used at shutdown). That hash calculation could be moved into a file in NUT's common directory.
