It drops root privileges. I forget what the Ubuntu (Debian) documentation suggests as a permanent fix, but it should be in /usr/share/doc/nut/README.Debian or something similar. There is also a more general discussion of when NUT drops root privileges in some of the install documentation. -- - Charles Lepple _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
