Adam, Firewall appears to work fine as I can use the client binary in the example directory on the slave side to connect to the NIS master. Here is the output from the slave followed by the master. ./client status APC : 001,035,0904 DATE : Fri Jan 04 13:54:46 EST 2002 HOSTNAME : apctest RELEASE : 3.14.4 VERSION : 3.14.4 (18 May 2008) redhat *UPSNAME : voltron CABLE : Ethernet Link* MODEL : Back-UPS ES 550 *UPSMODE : ShareUPS Master ?????? _why is this reporting master? should it be reporting SharedUPS Slave?_* STARTTIME: Fri Jan 04 13:54:16 EST 2002 *SHARE : ShareUPS* MASTERUPD: Fri Jan 04 13:54:46 EST 2002 MASTER : 137.143.213.100:3551 *STATUS : ONLINE SLAVE * LINEV : 121.0 Volts LOADPCT : 0.0 Percent Load Capacity BCHARGE : 100.0 Percent TIMELEFT : 45.6 Minutes MBATTCHG : 10 Percent MINTIMEL : 10 Minutes MAXTIME : 0 Seconds SENSE : High LOTRANS : 088.0 Volts HITRANS : 139.0 Volts BATTV : 13.5 Volts LASTXFER : Low line voltage NUMXFERS : 0 TONBATT : 0 seconds CUMONBATT: 0 seconds XOFFBATT : N/A STATFLAG : 0x07000408 Status Flag SERIALNO : 3B0751X42018 BATTDATE : 2000-00-00 NOMBATTV : 12.0 Volts FIRMWARE : 840.B3.D USB FW:B3 END APC : Fri Jan 04 13:54:47 EST 2002 Master: ./client status APC : 001,037,0925 DATE : Tue Aug 05 05:33:21 EDT 2008 HOSTNAME : apcmaster RELEASE : 3.14.4 VERSION : 3.14.4 (18 May 2008) redhat UPSNAME : voltron *CABLE : USB Cable* MODEL : Back-UPS ES 550 *UPSMODE : ShareUPS Master* STARTTIME: Tue Aug 05 05:32:19 EDT 2008 *SHARE : ShareUPS* STATUS : ONLINE LINEV : 121.0 Volts LOADPCT : 0.0 Percent Load Capacity BCHARGE : 100.0 Percent TIMELEFT : 45.6 Minutes MBATTCHG : 5 Percent MINTIMEL : 5 Minutes MAXTIME : 0 Seconds SENSE : High LOTRANS : 088.0 Volts HITRANS : 139.0 Volts ALARMDEL : Always BATTV : 13.4 Volts LASTXFER : Low line voltage NUMXFERS : 0 TONBATT : 0 seconds CUMONBATT: 0 seconds XOFFBATT : N/A STATFLAG : 0x07000008 Status Flag MANDATE : 2007-12-20 SERIALNO : 3B0751X42018 BATTDATE : 2000-00-00 NOMINV : 120 Volts NOMBATTV : 12.0 Volts FIRMWARE : 840.B3.D USB FW:B3 APCMODEL : Back-UPS ES 550 END APC : Tue Aug 05 05:33:27 EDT 2008 Looks like networking is fine, one would also assume the configuration is ok as well. I'll dig a bit further, know it is something dumb I am doing and not a issue with apcupsd -Ron Adam Kropelin wrote: > Ronald J.
