[Nut-upsuser] "UPS myups@localhost is unavailable" from upsmon

[Jonathan Kamens]

Greetings,

I imagine this question must have been answered previously on the
list, but I can't search for the answer because the archives are gone.

Executive summary: I am trying to install and configure nut 2.0.1 on
Fedora Core.  I have a SmartUPS Pro plugged into a USB port.  Upsmon
is logging "UPS myups@localhost is unavailable" to syslog and via wall
when it starts up and periodically afterwards.  I don't understand
why, since upsd says that upsmon is successfully connecting to upsd.

Here's what I see when I run "service ups start":

  Starting hidups: Network UPS Tools: HID UPS driver 0.13 (2.0.1)

  Warning: This is an experimental driver.
  Some features may not function correctly.

Here's what I see in my syslog:

Here's what's in /etc/sysconfig/ups:

  SERVER=yes
  MODEL=hidups
  DEVICE=/dev/hiddev0

Here's what's in /etc/ups/ups.conf:

  [myups]
	  driver = hidups
	  port = /dev/hiddev0

Her's what's in /etc/ups/upsd.conf:

  ACL all 0.0.0.0/0
  ACL localhost 127.0.0.1/32

  ACCEPT localhost
  REJECT all

Here's what's in /etc/ups/upsd.users:

  [monuser]
	  password = <elided>
	  allowfrom = localhost
	  upsmon master

here's what's in /etc/ups/upsmon.conf:

  MONITOR myups@localhost 1 monuser oberther master
  MINSUPPLIES 1
  SHUTDOWNCMD "/sbin/shutdown -h +0"
  POLLFREQ 5

  HOSTSYNC 15
  DEADTIME 15
  POWERDOWNFLAG /etc/killpower

Any suggestions?
