The port should be set to /dev/ttyS0 if you use the first com port. Then depending on the udev version the tty is owned by the tty group or the uucp group. Check by ls -al /dev/ttyS0. Add the nut user to the right group in /etc/group. This is more easy then trying to fix the udev rule. > The problem: When I /etc/init.d/upsd start, I get this: > Network UPS Tools upsd 2.0.4 > Can't connect to UPS [rack1ups] (apcsmart-auto): No such file or directory > Synchronizing........ giving up > Try to start the driver first. /etc/init.d/upsdrv start Check that it is running and that it don't fail. Then start the deamon if it is ok. /etc/init.d/upsd start I'm running Gentoo ~X86 and use a homemade ebuild for nut-2.0.5 with some patches that i entered into the development trunk.
