NUT resets config on every service restart
-
Hello all,
I have a problem with NUT package (v2.6.4) on Pfsense 2.0.3.
I'm trying to use Pfsense as a NUT master to send UPS evenrts uto 5 NUT slaves.
I have encontered two probelms that are preventing me to use this config:- each time the service or the firewall are restarted the upd.users files gets overwritten with a different password for the same user [monuser];
- the upsd.users doean't include the user I input in the config page [upsmon] as shown in the attached pic.
So each time the firewall restarts all the slaves get disconnected due to "ACCESs DENIED" error.
Any solution?
Thanks for your kind attention

Hello all, too!
I was running into nearly the same probs when using nut 2.6.4 on pfsense 2.0.3 the first time with a direct attached ups. I fiddled around a while with my remote-client config with no success. Every time i started the upsd on the upsd-client server, i got the 'access-denied' message in the logs. But the problem is in fact the package config on pfsense.
The remote-user parameters (username, password at a minimum) from the gui are not written into the proper config-file for nut ( /usr/local/etc/nut/upsd.users ). If you set the user-config manually into this file, everything works, when accessing nut from remote-clients.
So in pfsense /usr/local/etc/nut/upsd.users you can insert e.g., maybe via vi:
[upsclient]
password = <somepassword>upsmon slaveIt is not overwritten here by service-restarts, but of course when you hit the save-button on the nut-configuration page.
I've no real knowledge of php, but i think the problem lies in the depreceation of the 'address'-variable of nut's gui-page.
If you change /usr/local/pkg/nut.inc
from
275 if($allowaddress && $allowuser) {
to:
275 if($allowuser) {
276 $upsd_users .= "\n[$allowuser]\n";
277 $upsd_users .= "password = $allowpass\n";
278 $upsd_users .= "upsmon slave\n";
279 }
the user-configuration is written appropriate from the gui's values.But i think the package itself has to be corrected, because an update or a package reinstall may overwrite this mod.
cheers
