The driver writes the PID file when it starts, and it drops privileges to a 
system username specified at ./configure time. So you would need to allow that 
user to write to /opt/local/var/run/ (or better yet, a NUT-specific 
subdirectory like /opt/local/var/run/nut).

Yes. Bear in mind that these are NUT users defined in etc/upsd.users, not 
system usernames.

From MacPorts?
