I don't think this is a big issue but they documentation goes out of it's way to make a point of keeping permissions on the nut daemon restricted so I thought it should be noted. Perhaps just a documentation change to let people know that it might be necessary would be enough. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install 2.Set the nut.conf file 3.Try to run the driver: /usr/lib/ups/driver/upsdrvctl start Actual Results: Permission denied error. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
