[Apcupsd-users] apcupsd.conf NETSERVER config bug, Windows

[Mark F. <mf...@no...>]

Here's an FYI ...

I have 2 Windows computers using apcupsd, an XP Slave and a WIN7 Master.
Everything worked just fine. I then decided to switch my WIN7 Master to Slave
connected to the same Linux apcupsd server as the XP. Result: COMMLOST on the
WIN7 Slave.

I couldn't figure out the problem until I decided to compare the apcupsd.conf
files from each computer side-by-side.

The only difference was that the WIN7 had:

NETSERVER off

whereas the XP had the NETSERVER line commented out. When I commented out that
line in the WIN7 computer and restarted the service, it worked!

So, the "off" attribute of the NETSERVER setting DOES NOT WORK.

Bug.
