That might help if NUT would use the ACCEPT mechanism in the allowfrom  
processing (which is not the case).

To help people out that find this thread through a search tool, I'll  
explain it once more. In NUT versions earlier than 2.4.0 (where we  
dropped the ACL mechanism), ACCEPT/REJECT (in upsd.conf) will  
determine if a connection is allowed in the first place. In order to  
set master privileges on a UPS, you first need a connection (so there  
must be a matching ACCEPT before a possible REJECT) but after that you  
only need to match the 'allowfrom' (in upsd.users) for the user that  
made the connection. The allowfrom processing only uses the ACL line  
from upsd.conf, not ACCEPT/REJECT lines.

Best regards, Arjen
