[Nut-upsuser] "Master privileges unavailable on UPS" after upgrade to Debian Lenny

[David Smith]

Hi all,

I've just upgraded my debian box from etch to lenny, and am now having 
Nut problems.  I have read through the UPGRADING text (which helped 
fixed my first ups driver related problem), but have now hit another 
problem, which seems quite common, but non of the responses I've found 
on Google apply, so I'm coming to you for help.

On issuing a "/etc/init.d/nut start" I get the following in my syslog:

Mar  7 00:27:19 copstick3 upsd[26316]: Connection from 127.0.1.1
Mar  7 00:27:19 copstick3 upsd[26316]: Client monuser at 127.0.1.1 logged 
into UPS [copstick_ups]
Mar  7 00:27:19 copstick3 upsmon[26319]: Master privileges unavailable 
on UPS [copstick_ups at copstick3]
Mar  7 00:27:19 copstick3 upsmon[26319]: Response: [ERR ACCESS-DENIED]



Also, the following:
# upsc -L copstick3
copstick_ups: Unavailable

Google suggests that the common cause for this is not having a 'upsmon 
master' in my upsd.users file, but I've checked that.  I'm now just 
going round in circles, and so would really appreciate any suggestions.

My config files (passwords altered) as as follows (the ups is on a 
machine called 'copstick3.nobody with an ip of 10.9.2.9):

hosts.conf
##########
MONITOR copstick_ups at copstick3 "Copstick APC"

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
