[Nut-upsuser] ownership of pid directory

[David Benfell]

Hello all,

Some time ago, you all were very helpful in getting nut running on an OpenBSD
system, using--for what it's worth--a CyberPower 1500AVR.

So I finally got my FreeBSD system's UPS, also a CyberPower 1500AVR, within
reach of its serial cable and I'm trying to get nut running here.  I'm going
nuts.

Basically, I copied the OpenBSD configuration over to the FreeBSD system and
tried to put everything in the right place.  It looked like the FreeBSD port
wants to run as user uucp rather than nutmon, so I changed ups.conf and
upsmon.conf accordingly and tried changing the ownership of everything to
uucp.

upsdrvctl still complains that it "Can't chdir to /var/db/nut: Permission denied"
The directory exists and is owned by both user and group uucp.  What does it
want?
