Description of problem:

service ups start starts three daemons, all of which have problems:

/sbin/$MODEL (as set in /etc/sysconfig/ups) can't read /dev/ttyS0 as it runs as
nobody, and ttyS0 is owned by root and group-owned by uucp.  This is a problem,
and "chown nobody /dev/ttyS0" helps, but doesn't seem like the right thing to do.

The next daemon /usr/sbin/upsd looks for a non-existant /etc/ups/ups.conf, and
refuses to run after not finding it.  We need to fix this with at least an
example config file.

Last, the /usr/sbin/upsmon daemon won't start at all, becuase it can't find the
upsd daemon running.  This should be fixed when problem #2 is fixed.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

8.0 with all updates as of 02/10/2003

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  change MODEL=none to MODEL=apcsmart in /etc/sysconfig/ups
2.  "service ups start"
    
Actual results:

Starting apcsmart: Network UPS Tools - APC Smart protocol driver 0.60 (0.45.4)
This program is currently running as nobody (UID 99)
/dev/ttyS0 is owned by user root (UID 0), mode 0660

Change the port name, or fix the permissions or ownership
of /dev/ttyS0 and try again.

Unable to open /dev/ttyS0: Permission denied

Expected Results:

A lot different ;-)
