I have never seen so many config files for one programme !!
Nut isn't one program, it's at least three: the UPS driver, the server (upsd) and the monitor client (upsmon). Each is configured separately.
Not to mention the udev-->USB? that likely needs configuring as well.
If it makes you feel better, David, I have an older UPS that worked fine with NUT on Mandrake 9, but if I connect it to a WinXP machine, the UPS turns off briefly during startup. The vendor's FAQ says I need a firmware update. Be thankful if you get off with nothing worse than a half-dozen config file edits (and that you don't have to reboot after each edit!).
