Apcups hanging system

[Mihai Tanasescu]

Hello,


I've just recently installed apcupsd on a FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p7 machine.

I have the following setup:


APC UPS -- Linux Machine with apcupsd(Network Information Server) --- >  
FreeBSD machine with apcupsd.


If I issue apctest without configuring anything on the FBSD machine the 
system hangs without giving any error messages/without dumping anything 
on the screen.


So far I haven't been able to figure out what's causing this.


Anyone ever stumbled upon something like this ?
