[Nut-upsuser] machine not shutting down and connection failures in logs

It may be on the same machine, but it is on a different interface. See below.

>>> ups.conf:
>>> [bongups]
>>> driver = megatec_usb
>>> port = auto
>>> desc "UPS Mustek PowerMust 2000"
>>>
>>> upsd.conf:
>>> ACL all 0.0.0.0/0
>>> ACL localhost 127.0.0.1/32
>>> ACL mybox 192.168.10.75/32
>>>
>>> ACCEPT localhost
>>> ACCEPT mybox
>>> REJECT all
>>>
>>> upsd.users:
>>> [admin]
>>>        password = pass
>>>        allowfrom = localhost
>>>        upsmon master
>>>
>>> [monuser]
>>>        password = pass
>>>        allowfrom = mybox
>>>        upsmon master
>>>
>>> upsmon.conf:
>>> POWERDOWNFLAG /etc/nut/killpower
>>> MONITOR bongups at mybox 1 monuser pass master
>>> SHUTDOWNCMD "/sbin/shutdown -h +0"

The above will only work if a DNS query for 'mybox' resolves into
'192.168.10.75'. Note that in the MONITOR line, this should be a network
address (see 'man 5 upsmon.conf'), not an entry from 'upsd.users'. When in
doubt (and the upsmon client is running on the same machine as the upsd
server), leave the address part out. Since quite a couple of versions, the
'localhost' address is used then (which is also explained in this manual
page).

Best regards, Arjen
