Did you check the permissions of /usr/local/ups and /usr/local/ups/etc? They both need to be (at least) executable by the ups user, or else that file cannot be read. > Furthermore what made me subscribe to that list is: > if i type: > /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsd -u nut > the reply is the same > BUT when i type: > /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsd -u ups > i.e. i gave the group as the user to the option, it gives me: > Network UPS Tools upsd 2.0.3 > getpwnam(ups): Success This means that there is no user named "ups". The error message is buggy; it should be: no such user: ups. This bug is already fixed in the newest development version. > ...

No, they should all be readable. -- Peter _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
