Paul,

thats a good idea. It really helps when people just get started or change hardware. I tried to find Mark's error, and so I started owfs while my LinkUSB was unplugged and I got the same result he had:
no error and no daemon was started!

So I barked up the wrong tree, until you pointed out he wrongly used usb instead of the serial interface.

Thanks,

Martin

Thats great, but let me see if a better diagnostic message can be generated. Seems like too easy an error to make.

    Paul,

    Thank you very much!  That was the problem.  I have a lot of
    experience with Linux, and with software development, but not so
    much hardware knowledge, and I naively assumed that since my
    LinkUSB has "USB" in its name, and connects to the computer (the
    RPi in my case) with a USB connector, that it must be a USB
    device.  When I changed my owfs.conf file to say "server: device =
    /dev/ttyUSB0" instead of "server: usb = all", everything started
    working beautifully!

        You have it set up for a USB bus master, but that really means
        the DS9490R USB one made by Maxim. I think you really have a
        serial type (Link or DS9097U) connected to a USB->serial
        connector (the FTDI chip)

        Depending on which actual bus master you are using, it should be
        owserver -d /dev/ttyUSB0
        or
        owserver --link=/dev/ttyUSB0
