NAMEupsd.users - Administrative user definitions for NUT upsdDESCRIPTIONAdministrative commands such as setting variables and the instant commands are powerful, and access to them needs to be restricted. This file defines who may access them, and what is available.Each user gets its own section. The fields in that section set the parameters associated with that user’s privileges. The section begins with the name of the user in brackets, and continues until the next user name in brackets or EOF. These users are independent of /etc/passwd. Here are some examples to get you started: [admin] password = mypass actions = set actions = fsd instcmds = all [pfy] password = duh instcmds = test.panel.start instcmds = test.panel.stop [monmaster] password = blah upsmon master [monslave] password = abcd upsmon slave FIELDSpasswordSet the password for this user.
actions Allow the user to do certain things with upsd. To specify
multiple actions, use multiple instances of the actions field. Valid
actions are:
SET change the value of certain variables in the UPS
FSD set the forced shutdown flag in the UPS. This is
equivalent to an "on battery + low battery" situation for the
purposes of monitoring.
The list of actions is expected to grow in the future. instcmds Let a user initiate specific instant commands. Use
"ALL" to grant all commands automatically. To specify multiple
commands, use multiple instances of the instcmds field. For the full
list of what your UPS supports, use "upscmd -l".
The cmdvartab file supplied with the distribution contains a list of most of the known command names. upsmon Add the necessary actions for a upsmon process to work.
This is either set to "master" or "slave".
Do not attempt to assign actions to upsmon by hand, as you may miss something important. This method of designating a "upsmon user" was created so internal capabilities could be changed later on without breaking existing installations.
