At some point between 2.2.0 and 2.4.1, a retry count was increased,
which would reduce the number of timeout (-110) errors. Also, in
recent versions, the "unit.id" setting is not retrieved if you are
using Protocol 4.

The "ups.status" value is problematic - it should include at least OL
or OB. Not sure whether it is due to Protocol 4-related changes, or
the aforementioned timeout.

It may not be too hard to modify the RPM file to use the NUT 2.4.1
source tarball instead of 2.2.0.
