Hi, I'm running on debian I installed with the .deb but was previously
using a home compile version. I was using version 1.4.

As for the configuration here is the files(comment stripped for brevity):

upsd.conf
ACL all 0.0.0.0/0
ACL localhost 127.0.0.1/32

ACCEPT localhost
REJECT all

upsd.user
       [monuser]
                password = XXXXX
                allowfrom = localhost
#               actions = SET
                instcmds = ALL
                upsmon master


upsmon.conf
MONITOR bup at localhost 1 monuser XXXXX master
MINSUPPLIES 1
SHUTDOWNCMD "/sbin/shutdown -h +0"
POLLFREQ 5
POLLFREQALERT 5
HOSTSYNC 15
DEADTIME 15
POWERDOWNFLAG /etc/killpower

And a few other to specify NOTIFYMSG

*UPDATE*

Actually before sending this message, I did 1-2 more test and I found my
problem, it has nothing to do with my setting (of upsmon). I updated a
few thing at the same time and it seems that it was actually a dns entry
that was messed up. So here localhost wasn't actually resolved back to
127.0.0.1 which explains the error message "No such host".

Thanks for your help anyhow =)
