      @dennypage Sorry if this is the wrong place. I migrated the configuration to a Netgate 4200. I have NUT package 2.8.2_1. It had permission errors. After including user=root in the ups.conf section (as suggested by you in the previous track) it started working. It also worked on the previous system.

        @pvk1 Ownership of the /var/db/nut directory is incorrect. The following command will fix that:

        chown -R nut:nut /var/db/nut

        The errors for /usr/local/etc/nut are more of an issue. Those files should be accessed prior to switching to user "nut". What version of pfSense are you running? What does

        pkg info | grep nut

        report? Thx.

                ls: /var/db/nut: Permission denied

                Strange.
                You are root, right ?

                [24.03-BETA][root@pfSense.bhf.tld]/root: whoami
root

                No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                Edit : and where are the logs ??

                  As @Gertjan noted, you need to run the commands as root.

                    Thx. I had disabled the admin user, so I could not login as root. The user that I login with is member of the system admins.

                    I now enabled admin again.
                    s: /var/db/nut:
                    -rw-r--r-- 1 root nut 6 Apr 2 13:19 upsd.pid
                    -rw-r--r-- 1 root nut 6 Apr 2 13:19 upsmon.pid

                      @pvk1 Running as non-root will require that ownership of /var/db/nut, and all files therein, to be user "nut".

                      Note that all of the following needs to be done as root.

                      Suggested path:

                      • Remove user=root from the configuration. NB: If you have anything else in the Advanced section, please post that before continuing...
                      • Shut down the UPS service via command "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut.sh stop".
                      • Do "ps -axuw | grep ups" and see if any of the nut commands, such as upsmon, are still running. If they are you can stop them with "killall upsmon".
                      • Change ownership of /var/db/nut via command "chown -R nut /var/db/nut".

                      Following that, you should see permissions like so:

                      [23.09.1-RELEASE][root@fw]/root: ls -ld /var/db
drwxr-xr-x  22 root wheel 54 Apr  2 08:29 /var/db
[23.09.1-RELEASE][root@fw.cococafe.com]/root: ls -la /var/db/nut
total 10
drwxr-x---   2 nut  nut    3 Apr  2 10:17 .
drwxr-xr-x  22 root wheel 54 Apr  2 08:29 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 nut  uucp   6 Apr  1 14:40 upsmon.pid
[23.09.1-RELEASE][root@fw]/root:

                      You can also check permissions for /usr/local/etc/nut like so:

                      [23.09.1-RELEASE][root@fw]/root: ls -ld /usr/local/etc
drwxr-xr-x  35 root wheel 91 Apr  2 08:45 /usr/local/etc
[23.09.1-RELEASE][root@fw]/root: ls -ld /usr/local/etc/nut
drwxr-xr-x  2 root wheel 24 Feb 10 12:16 /usr/local/etc/nut
[23.09.1-RELEASE][root@fw]/root: ls -la /usr/local/etc/nut/*.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 root wheel 1071 Feb  7 11:02 /usr/local/etc/nut/hosts.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 root wheel 4774 Feb  7 11:02 /usr/local/etc/nut/nut.conf
-rw-r-----  1 root wheel   43 Apr  1 14:29 /usr/local/etc/nut/ups.conf
-rw-r-----  1 root wheel   28 Apr  1 14:29 /usr/local/etc/nut/upsd.conf
-rw-r-----  1 root wheel  530 Apr  1 14:29 /usr/local/etc/nut/upsmon.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 root wheel 4217 Feb  7 11:02 /usr/local/etc/nut/upssched.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 root wheel 1871 Feb  7 11:02 /usr/local/etc/nut/upsset.conf
[23.09.1-RELEASE][root@fw]/root:

                      Lastly, start the UPS service via command "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut.sh start".

                        It just occurred to me... was this attempt to start nut via /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut.sh done as a non root user?

                        If so, the output makes perfect sense.

                          @dennypage I just upgraded to pfsense 24.03 with nut 2.8.2_2. Does this have the fix for this issue, or should I reapply the private? Thanks!

                              @dennypage Ah sorry, this is a general thread isn't it. The UPS regular maintenance sending an 'administrative off' which triggers a pfsense immediate halt when it shouldn't.

                                I believe this is addressed, yes.

                                  For what it's worth, I just did a pkg-static remove nut-devel and pfsense nut 2.8.2_1 blah blah. Cleaned it all out. Did a pkg-static update made sure repo is current. Installed the latest 2 packages from pfsense web gui, and tripplite USB is still broken.

                                  pkg install -f nut-devel-2023.10.07_1.pkg

                                  And it's fixed again.
