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.

The latter is a waste of effort. This is not how tcp-wrappers works.

[...]

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).

This has nothing to do with upsmon(.conf). The connection is rejected by the upsd server. In the upsd(8) man page there is already a reference to hosts_access(5). Sadly this isn't very specific about systems running both IPv4 and IPv6 at the same time.

The hosts_options(5) and tcpd(8) provide no useful information for people setting up NUT with tcp-wrappers. The problem you're seeing here is common for applications that use tcp-wrappers and really should be fixed by packagers (by adding a line to the /etc/hosts.allow file).

Best regards, Arjen
