Package: nut
Version: 2.0.5-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
The attached patch incorporates the ability to set option flags for
upsd in /etc/default/nut which are then used in /etc/init.d/nut when
starting upsd. In particular, I've used it to bind upsd to the local
network interface instead of all interfaces, which I think should be
considered for use as the default.
