Oh. And something else:

miwa@zork3$ tail /var/log/messages

It means, that sometimes I really can see output from upsc:

but I'd like do see it always :o)

Everything is good up to here. Your UPS, cable, and driver (newhidups)
are all working.

This is definitely a problem. Upsd has "given up" its attempt to
connect to the driver. 

There should be a socket in your state directory (typically
/var/state/ups). This is what upsd uses to connect to the driver. 

Perhaps you should start "/usr/local/libexec/nut/upsd" and not just
"upsd"?  Maybe they are not configured the same way.

Never mind that remark, it looks like I have some backporting to do from
the trunk if we want to include these changes. The changes to
server/upsd.c and server/sstate.c are currently *not* in Testing and
therefor, *not* in nut-2.0.5-pre1.

Other than that, I think that some recent changes to common/state.c should
be backported too, to fix a memory leak in state_delcmd(). Arnaud, what do
you think about that?
