It's worth noting that Fedora's package installs the following in  
/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/nut-client.conf:

D    /var/run/nut 0770 root nut -

And Fedora's /usr/lib/systemd/system/nut-driver.service has the following  
entry in [Service]:

ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/systemd-tmpfiles --create /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/nut-client.conf
