What if you run 'tcpdchk' against your hosts.allow file? I am not
terribly familiar with TCP wrappers, and your configuration looked
reasonable, but it's possible that there is a problem with the
syntax.
Opensuse no longer runs inetd nor has the /etc/inetd.conf file
needed by tcpdchk. I havn't yet found an alternative way of
checking the TCP wrappers configuration.

I added [::1] to the upsd line in /etc/hosts.allow
upsd : 10.0.0/24, localhost, LOCAL, 127.0.0.1, [::1] : ALLOW
and then ran command "rcupsd restart" to restart NUT. Problem
solved! /var/log/messages now includes the line
upsd[26097]: User upsmaster@::1 logged into UPS [Eaton-66781]
The man page for upsmon.conf currently says for the MONITOR
directive:
MONITOR system powervalue username password type
Each UPS that you need to be monitor should have a MONITOR line.
Not all of these need supply power to the system that is running
upsmon. You may monitor other systems if you want to be able to
send notifications about status changes on them.
You must have at least one MONITOR directive in this file.
system is a UPS identifier. It is in this form:
<upsname>[@<hostname>[:<port>]] The default hostname is
"localhost".
Perhaps it would be worthwhile adding the following note to this
description
Note. The hostname "localhost" you specify here cannot be relied
on as the only possible hostname in access control file
hosts.allow. You may also need to specify other possible
identities for local system, for example "upsd : localhost, LOCAL,
127.0.0.1, [::1] : ALLOW". See also hosts_access(5) and
hosts_options(5).
The SEE ALSO for upsmon.conf refers to upsmon(8), upsd(8),
nutupsdrv(8). I suggest adding hosts_access(5), hosts_options(5) and
maybe tcpd(8).
By the way, of the last 572 accesses to my "NUT" web page, 81
visitors have used the three search terms ERR, ACCESS and DENIED,
roughly 14%.
