I have an excellent old Best Power FE700VA but am suprised it's unlisted.? I thought Best Power ones were for critical applications, mostly for POSIX-based (Unix, etc.) servers, so I want to run it on 64-bit Slackware GNU/Linux.? I'm wondering why, or if it may be added in the future, or if there are any other options.

In previous cases where I set up X to use a wheel mouse I told it to use moused and then had XFree do the wheel translation with the ZAxisMapping option. After looking at the FAQ again I decided to try doing the translation with moused on my new 5.1-R desktop box. So I did a ps ax | grep moused and got what I expected... /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/ums0 -I /var/run/moused.ums0.pid so as root I

Anyone wanna explain why ClamAV thinks Wine has a rootkit in it? It finds "mountmgr.sys" and "usbd.sys" as "BC.Heuristics.Rootkit.B" This is not altered Wine.. or even used... but it happens just pure straight up compile from source Wine even if its never been ran.... its finding them in the fakedlls folder. I have not tried on Linux, only on Mac OS X, using the

Dear colleagues, I'm planning to debug usb connection with my new SONY CLIE handheld, and found that this process is much complicated by the fact usb.ko module can not be unloaded 'cause some process is referencing it: marck@revamp:~/tmp> kldstat -v -i 11 Id Refs Address Size Name 11 1 0xc0cf7000 1b000 usb.ko Contains modules: Id Name

I wrote a small app that monitors a Back-UPS ES500 UPS via the uhid0 interface. I want to run the daemon with as little privs as possible. gastest# ls -l /dev/uhid0 crw-rw---- 1 root operator 122, 0 Nov 12 05:26 /dev/uhid0 gastest# Is it safe to chmod o+r /dev/uhid0 ? Or is there a better way to drop privs of the daemon yet still be able to read from the device ? All I am doing is

Lately I got (used) an APC Back UPS Pro 1000 and Back UPS NS 1080. I got an ethernet-to-USB cable from another UPS, but the Pro isn't detected (with usbhid-ups.) I haven't tried the NS yet but it seems to not be on the list though looks just like the Pro. Some months ago I was discussing setup of a Ferrups 700VA.  I got it to work only with a command in rc.local, but not automatically
