Update Nut
yum --enablerepo=geekery update nut
If you are installing a USB UPS, softlink this file in udev rules directory:
ln -s /lib/udev/rules.d/62-nut-usbups.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/62-nut-usbups.rules
and reload udev rules and trigger device detection with these commands:
- for sme8
udevcontrol reload_rules udevtrigger service ups restart
- for sme9
udevadm control --reload-rules service ups restart
hosts.allow
NUT uses TCP-Wrappers to provide controlled access to the daemon upsd. To allow this add a fragment to the templates
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/services vim /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/services/30Nut
and paste
#Nut Service nut 3493/tcp # Network UPS Tools nut 3493/udp # Network UPS Tools
then
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/hosts.allow/ mc -e /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/hosts.allow/upsd
Paste in the fragment
{
$DB->hosts_allow_spec('nut','nut');
}
and expand the template & restart the service (if you have already configured the ups per Uninterruptable_Power_Supply)
expand-template /etc/hosts.allow service nut restart
Then follow the excellent instructions at Uninterruptable_Power_Supply

Why
I have a Dell UPS Rack 1920W - if doesn't work on the standard Nut version. After this upgrade it does on the default configuration.
