Hi - I have NUT running very nicely on a serial port on one of my OpenBSD servers, and using hidups on a RHEL4 box. Now I'd like to run it on two Macs, a PowerMac and an XServe G4. What is the USB port I need to configure, and do I need the newhidups driver? Thanks in advance for the help! Ted

You also need to install libusb, and pass the installation location to ./configure when you build NUT. -- - Charles Lepple

This is all on the exact same machine, yes. The libusb is from darwinports, looks like 0.1.10a_1 On 2.0.2 of NUT the driver connected, but had no awareness of an APC (as the docs state, newhidups on 2.0.2 only knew about MGE). 2.0.3 however fails to "steal" the USB connection from the default USB UPS handler in OS X as the 2.0.2 version did. Exact same machine, only difference is the newer version of NUT (latest download of 2.0.3).
