Package: apcupsd
Version: 3.14.4-1lenny1
Severity: normal
In ReleaseNotes.gz, it is reported that:
In 3.14.x, MASTER/SLAVE mode has been removed and the associated
configuration directives are now obsolete. Please see the Apcupsd manual
for a very simple NIS networking configuration to replace MASTER/SLAVE.
However, the man page for apcupsd reports at least the following obsolete
information:
UPSCLASS -- <class of operation>
[ standalone | shareslave | sharemaster ] and
[ netslave | netmaster ] are valid types.
[ standalone | netslave | netmaster ] are tested classes.
[ shareslave | sharemaster ] classes are being tested.
NETPORT -- <TCP|UDP port number>
MASTER -- <name of master> for Slave machine.
The name of the master which is authorized to send commands to this
slave.
SLAVE -- <name of slave(s)> for Master machine.
The name of the slave machine attached to the master. There can be
max. 20 slaves
attached to one master.
Many of the above directives will result in syntax errors if put into
a Lenny apcupsd.conf file.
Moreover, there is no documentation in the man page referring to the
directives that replace the obsolete directives mentioned above:
NETSERVER on
NISIP 0.0.0.0
NISPORT 3551
