Thanks for the reply and info.

I will do this and see if there?s any clues in the debug output.

Yes the other upsd is listening on the lan as well.  I have an ESXi server
talking to it just fine.

No - same error ?Unknown error?.  This is what makes me think there is some
common code that?s unable to open sockets on Solaris.

what's with perl script - probably wants dependencies not present/functional
in that distro.
Do you know what option this is ?  I probably scrolled past it, but I did look
for something to disable it.

Debug doesn?t seem to say much:

[root at ss20 ~]# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/ups/lib /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsmon

It exits immediately as well.

I gatekeep some code that was originally written when dinosaurs roamed the  
earth. This is a short in the dark, but

-lsocket -lnsl

was required when linking code that used socket, back in prehistoric days.  
Although I would expect a link failure, if that was the case here.
