Ok, FreeNAS 7 and UPS is now a success. I am able to get a working UPS service in ALL versions of FreeNAS 7. This is done by inserting a newer version of usbhid-ups into /usr/local/libexec/nut, and replacing driver.list in usr/local/etc/nut.
Now FreeNAS 8 is something else altogether :D
I have ftp'ed myself into FreeNAS 8 as root, I have mounted it as writeable, and I am able to edit files. So far so good. But when I edit a file, i.e. driver.list located under /usr/local/etc/nut - my changes won't stick after a reboot. Again, I am not familiar with the workings of FreeBSD, but what is going on? Are those files running off a RAM disk, or/and is there a "master" file hidden somewhere that is being "unzipped" upon boot? How do I edit files and make changes stick? Sorry for asking the obvious.
