Same error as above. > Why does PSP work and how do I get nut on my server to work with this > UPS? to answer your question: - psp only autodetect your MGE UPS and configure nut. then the service are started by the system at boot. - on your master machine (the one running PSP): * you have to allow client connection in upsd.conf ("ACL mynetwork X.X.X.X/Y" and add mynetwork to "ACCEPT") * you have to define an "upsmon slave" user in upsd.users - on your slave machine: * you only need upsmon.conf * you should only set START_UPSMON to yes in /etc/default/nut * you have to point the master machine (the one running PSP) in upsmon.conf, also using the upsmon slave login/password created above. For more information: man upsd.conf, upsmon.conf, ... and the online documentation.
