Hi Marc,

you seem to be facing several problems...

though I don't see it in your above uspd.conf (maybe a too short excerpt),
there is a mismatch here.
You should have "MAXAGE 25", ie not with the "=" char.

Jan  9 16:53:15 localhost upsd[5066]: Connected to UPS [mge]: mge-shut-ttyS1
> Jan  9 16:53:19 localhost upsd[5067]: Startup successful
> Jan  9 16:53:19 localhost upsmon[5069]: Startup successful
> Jan  9 16:53:19 localhost upsd[5067]: Connection from 127.0.0.1
> Jan  9 16:53:19 localhost upsd[5067]: Client admin at 127.0.0.1 logged into
> UPS [mge]
> Jan  9 16:53:19 localhost upsmon[5070]: Master privileges unavailable on
> UPS [mge at 127.0.0.1]


now this one:
as the above msg states, you need the master priv. to run upsmon.
As you've defined 2 users, you have also used the wrong one.
You should use the "[upsmon]" one which defines a "upsmon master".
simply changing
 MONITOR mge at 127.0.0.1 1 admin pwd master
to
MONITOR mge at 127.0.0.1 1 upsmon pwd master

will do the trick.

Jan  9 16:53:19 localhost upsmon[5070]: Reason: Access denied

I've a Debian bug logged for that one, but I have not yet found the time to
reproduce it:
See: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=345362

I've made a quick test with 2.0.2 (the one shipped with Testing/Sid) on an
Ellipse USBS (serial mode) and everything goes fine.
So please, try to upgrade to these packages and report back if you still
face this issue.

Best regards,
Arnaud
