I have no idea why it is doing this as the upsmon process user "nut" is local, nsswitch.conf has files before ldap, and the UPS is on USB and in standalone mode. Maybe just boilerplate library initialization?

I'm not sure either, but you could compare it with strace output from "getent passwd nut".

It is the literal from "./configure --with-user=ups..." 

Although it can be overridden with the "-u" flag, I am not sure if that would help. (We sometimes recommend "-u root" for debugging permission issues with the driver, but then the driver might create a socket that upsd can't read without a similar "-u root".)
