Needs to be readable by user/group nut, so setting the group as you did, plus "chmod g+r": $ ls -l /etc/nut/ups.conf -rw-r----- 1 root nut 5058 Oct 29 2018 /etc/nut/ups.conf ... although ups.conf for a USB-connected UPS likely doesn't contain anything sensitive, so mode 0644 would also be fine. _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
