this has been bugging me for ages; nut works fine if started from
a shell, but from rc.local upsd dies. I finally got annoyed with it
enough to track it down, turns out if sysconf reports a fewer number
of filehandles available than the setting of MAXCONN (which defaults
to FD_SETSIZE, 1024) it dies.
we could get fancy and use setrlimit to bump the value, but I think
this simpler diff is enough; it just changes the default config file
to a value that works with our standard login.conf and adds a few
notes. ok?
