[Nut-upsuser] User credential for cgi site

[Doug Parsons]

Okay. Got it fixed. It was a couple of things that were causing issues.

First is that the user had not been created that had set rights for actions
in the upsd.users file.

Second is localhost had to be added to the "allowfrom" for this user.

Once this was done all is well.

Thanks for the help.

Doug

What about the webserver error log?

Have you checked the man page for upsset.conf?

Can you try on the command line with upsrw?

Do those users (in upsd.users) have monitor privileges? I think that's
a step up from just being able to see values with upsc.
