By Slave, I mean on non snmp capable ups's, its directly connected to one
server which then controls several other's like apcupsd does that way these
smaller ups's that have the capacity to support several small servers can still
safely shut them all down, not just the connected one. I also don't think nut
has snmp capability for the larger ups's, right?

So for now, I manually pkg_add apcupsd and hack around getting it configured.

thanks,
