I forgot that 2.2.2 still required ACCEPT/REJECT:

        'Any IP address which does not match one of your directives will default
        to REJECT.  This is intended to keep your system safe if you forget  to
        put "REJECT all" at the bottom.'

cf http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/en/man5/upsd.conf.5.html

The LISTEN directive limits connections at the kernel level, and
ACCEPT/REJECT are handled inside the NUT code. (The LISTEN directive
was also phased in after ACCEPT/REJECT.)

If you upgrade, note that current NUT now uses tcp_wrappers instead of
ACCEPT/REJECT. Similar functionality, but provided by a more
widely-known (and hopefully more secure) library.
