From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Opera/7.23 (X11; Linux i686; U) [en] Description of problem: I'm using a rebuilt nut-2.0.0-1.src.rpm from FC2 Test3 on Fedora Core 1 (I maintain a driver outside of nut's tree and I'm porting it to 2. 0.0) and I noticed a problem with the files in /etc/ups. The problem is in the upsd.users file. Its permissions are: -rw------- 1 root root 2371 May 9 17:05 upsd.users when they should be: -rw-r----- 1 root nut 2371 May 9 17:05 upsd.users The user "nut" has to be able to read this file or else instant commands (like battery test, timed shutdowns, etc.) don't work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nut-2.0.0-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. upscmd ups@localhost test.battery.start Actual Results: Instant command failed: Access denied Expected Results: No output from upscmd, followed by a message that the ups is on battery. Additional info:
it's fixed in 2.0.0-2. Many thanks for your report
2.0.0-2 isn't included in FC2. Maybe this is worth putting in updates?
