Hi Amaud

I'm not sure whether you saw my second post before sending this email - 
but I found a nut package built for Centos (more or less) in the centos 
epel repository. I have installed this - but am still having some 
trouble setting it up. I doubt my problems are due to a problem wit the 
install package - but if you think so - I could try the repository you 
recommended.

I see they have an mgeups-psp... rpm file. Is there anything in this rpm 
that might be useful to me. I have a belkin UPS.

If you don't mind - I'll tell you my current problem - and see if you 
can help....

when I run the nut ups startup script - I now get the following:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/ups start ..

Starting UPS driver controller: No response from UPS
No response from UPS
No response from UPS
..
No response from UPS
No response from UPS
Startup timer elapsed, continuing...
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.2.0-
[FAILED]
Starting upsd: listening on 0.0.0.0 port 3493
Can't connect to UPS [BelkinUps] (belkinunv-BelkinUps): No such file or directory
[  OK  ]
Starting UPS monitor (master): UPS: BelkinUps at localhost (master) (power value 1)
Using power down flag file /etc/killpower

[  OK  ]
No response from UPS

It look like I have a communication problem with the UPS. I have it set 
to ttys0, and I'm pretty sure that is correct. There is only one serial 
port on the back of the box - though the hardware applet reports 2 16550 
serial ports. When I try setting nut to use ttys1 I get a different error:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ups start ..

Starting UPS driver controller: Fatal error: unusable configuration
Network UPS Tools - Belkin 'Universal UPS' driver 0.06 (2.2.0-)

Unable to open /dev/ttyS1: Permission denied

  Current user id: nut (57)
Serial port owner: root (0)
Serial port group: root (0)
     Mode of port: 0600

Things to try:

 - Use another port (with the right permissions)

 - Fix the port owner/group or permissions on this port

 - Run this driver as another user (upsdrvctl -u or 'user=...' in ups.conf).
   See upsdrvctl(8) and ups.conf(5).

I have tried changing the permissions on /dev/ttys1 to match /dev/ttys0 
- then I get another error:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ups start ..

Starting UPS driver controller: Fatal error: unusable configuration
Network UPS Tools - Belkin 'Universal UPS' driver 0.06 (2.2.0-)

Unable to open /dev/ttyS1: No such device or address

  Current user id: nut (57)
Serial port owner: root (0)
Serial port group: uucp (14)
     Mode of port: 0660

Can you suggest how I confirm that i have the correct port?
Do I need to set the baud rate of the port - and if so how?
Any other suggestions?
The model of UPS I have is included in the supported models in the 
belkinunv driver.

Many thanks

Richard.
