First I want to thank both you and Mr. Lepple for taking the time to
post your suggestions. Your example of the upsd.users file worked fine
for me.

In the interest of a complete explanation, I found my example of the
upsd.users file at the URL
http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/user-manual.chunked/ar01s06.html
and it looked like the following.

[monuser]
        password = mypass
        upsmon master
        # or upsmon slave

Based on that my upsd.users looked like

[ups]
        password = XXXXXXX
        upsmon master
        # or upsmon slave

That didn’t work but your example which I cut and pasted into
upsd.users and then added my password did work with the user admin as
you used.

My mistake was in thinking that the “mon” and “set” uspd.users
configurations were the same and they are not.  If I had clicked on
the reference “upsd.users (5)” I would have been taken to
http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/man/upsd.users.html which would
have explained that.

That only leaves the output voltage reported by usbhid-ups not
reporting correctly but perhaps that will be solved in an updated
version of it.   There was no change in 2.7.2 but I did not expect any
based on the change log.

Thanks again to both of you.
