[Nut-upsuser] NUT 2.8.1 (source build) Pi OS bookworm 32 bit - nut-monitor trying to connect to UPS - Connection Refused

[Dan Grostick]

Charles, thanks for the hint. It got me thinking about 'listening on'.  Further investigation revealed that my hosts file was fubar. Correcting it resolved the issue.

If you only see:

nut-server[6536]: listening on 192.168.x.y

and no equivalent line for 127.0.0.1, then monitoring ups-name at localhost will likely not work. You may want to listen on the wildcard 0.0.0.0 address instead of a specific address (helps if the IP is dynamic), or just add "LISTEN 127.0.0.1".
