Errr, I meant to say that the rules assume that the *group* RUN_AS_USER
exists (the user must exist of course). In my case, the 'upsd' user is
member of the 'daemon' group and the 'upsd' group doesn't exist.

Another problem is that the group is configured in these scripts at
compilation time. If someone decides to override this and specifies a
different user on the command line or in ups.conf, we're in trouble.

Best regards, Arjen
