The short answer is that the "listen" directive specifies the address on the *server* that will be used for listening. I think you're trying to specify that the server should only listen to that one slave. Those rules are best handled by the system firewall (and/or by tcp_wrappers), which is why we dropped the ACL syntax from NUT. Your choices for the listen directive are basically any of the addresses shown in 'ifconfig', or 0.0.0.0 to listen on all IPv4 interfaces. -- - Charles Lepple _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
