@shaffergr I don't think it will be necessary, but if it doesn't generate a core file, add this:
sysctl kern.sugid_coredump=1 -
@dennypage
Well i just delete, reboot and reinstall nut not the operating system. Weird that i don't know why after remove nut i still had the settings when i did reinstall.

@lcbbcl I need the messages from the usbhid-ups process. The messages from upsd are expected when usbhid-ups isn't running.
If you don't have any log entries from usbhid-ups, then please post your ups settings (Services / UPS / Settings)
I'll be away for a bit... but will look at it when I'm back.

@dennypage
I have no msg/error from usbhid-ups

@lcbbcl If you re-save your ups settings, it will restart the processes and you should be able to find usbhid entries.

@lcbbcl I believe I have found what is causing the issue you are experiencing. To correct the issue will require an update to the pfSense nut package as well as updating the underlying FreeBSD nut package used by pfSense. It will take some time.
In the interim, you can address the issue by adding the line "user=root" to "Additional configuration lines for ups.conf" under Advanced settings.

Your hard and dedicated work on this package is an inspiration. Thank you for the effort :-)
I assume it was an access permissions issue since running it as root solves the issue? Can you comment on why it only happens for some UPS models?

Yes, it's a permissions issue. I am hoping it can be addressed in the FreeBSD nut package (or perhaps in kernel config?), but if not I will have to add the user=root to the config for all usb devices.
What models it happens on are dependent upon the quirks defined for that device. If you want to jump down the rabbit hole, run "usbconfig dump_quirk_names" and "usbconfig dump_device_quirks".
NB: This is not related to the signal 10/11 issue being experienced with CyberPower units.

I see the github packages have been moved to
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports
But i don't see the nut package in there.
Where is the code for nut, or is it closed source now?
In the upsmon configuration, can we please add two config boxes for the below files.
/usr/local/etc/nut/upssched.conf with permission 644
/usr/local/bin/upssched-cmd with permission 755To use the scheduler to trigger events from upsmon. these files need to be configurable.
Also, there should be a note for using them, the notification box has to be disabled.

For those of you affected by the APC issue (and those that will be in the future):
First, I believe that the issue only affects recent APC UPS designs. Those in the last couple of years or so. The core issue is that a new device identification number has been introduced by APC, which FreeBSD is not aware of. Since the kernel does not recognize the device as a UPS that should be ignored, the kernel is attaching an internal driver to it. The presence of this internal driver on the device precludes any non root user from attaching to the device.
This cannot be reasonably fixed in the pfSense nut package or the underlying FreeBSD nut package. The permanent solution requires an adjustment to the usb quirk table in the kernel itself. A patch has been established for the kernel, but I don't know how long it will take to flow through.
In the interim, there are two solutions available:
The first solution, as noted previously, is to add the line
user=rootto the "Additional configuration lines for ups.conf" section under Advanced settings. This will cause the usbhid-ups command to be run as root. The disadvantage of this approach is that you are running the driver as root, which may be of concern to some.
The alternative solution is to add the line
hw.usb.quirk.0="0x051d 0x0003 0x0000 0xffff UQ_HID_IGNORE"to file "/boot/loader.conf.local". Note that you may have to create this file. The disadvantage of this approach is that you will have to reboot pfSense before it will work.
If you previously implemented the user=root approach, you can remove the user=root line following the reboot.
