Thanks Darac. I've got a few questions: 1) What do you mean by `A.LAN.IP`? Is that some sort of keyword? 2) I see you've set MONITOR on the slave to the same value as that of the master. Could you explain how exactly this directive is used (since I can't find a reasonable explanation of it in the docs anywhere). Am I right in assuming that it specifies which ups you want to monitor?....since you might want to monitor multiple UPSs. 3) The documentation also suggests a syntax for the MONITOR statement which requires a username, a password and a master/slave flag. I've set the user on the master to be a domain user. Since this user is accessible on the slave as well, can the MONITOR statement on the slave use the same user? > I have found that the config files for NUT are well commented and just > editing every file in /etc/nut should get you most of the way there. > However, if you want to do some reading first, there's the "nut-doc" > package which will put a whole load of files into > /usr/share/doc/nut-doc.
