[Nut-upsuser] nut upset after Oops

We, the NUT development team, don't provide RPM packages. So we have no
idea what the people who made the RPM, did to the init scripts. As far as
I know, the init scripts we do provide in the sources are fine, but some
packagers (including me) make changes to modify them for a specific
distribution. There is no way to tell which changes without looking at
these scripts.

There have been some changes in the way we deal with PID files, these
changes may be incompatible to version nut-2.0.5.

Either the name of the driver socket is incorrect (however, this should be
no problem if you're using upsdrvctl from nut-2.0.5 too, but will be a
problem if you're using upsdrvctl from nut-2.0.3) or there is a
permissions problem because the driver runs under a different userid as
the server (upsd).

That would be most helpful.
