      Running apcupsd-3.14.12_1 pkg v0.3.6 on PFSense 2.1 and SNMP is not working as an option.

      When you set the configuration under UPS type / Device as:

      snmp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:161:APC:Community

      APCUPSD is unable to contact the UPS, It seems to be a problem in the script which writes the config file, when I scp into the server and open the config file I see:

      UPSTYPE snmp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:161:APC:Community
      #DEVICE

      When I change the config manually to reflect:
      UPSTYPE snmp
      DEVICE xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:161:APC:Community

      The service is able to start and communicate with the UPS properly.

        On "UPS Type / Device" field, set just  "snmp".
        On "Device" field, set the rest of your config.

          Now that you point it out I see that line thanks.

          Instructions could use a once over, pull the device type instruction down to that line maybe?

          Thanks
