Nut upsuser - Sep 2012 - ERR ACCESS-DENIED in upsrw

Hi all,
i've a problem with only a command in all suite: upsrw.

root at ProLiant:/etc/nut# upsrw -u monmaster -p p455w0rd -s 
ups.delay.shutdown=180 ups
Unexpected response from upsd: ERR ACCESS-DENIED
root at ProLiant:/etc/nut#

upsc and upsmon work greatly.

This is in my /etc/host.allow:
upsd : localhost, LOCAL, 127.0.0.1,    [::1]               : ALLOW

What miss ?
Thank you!

In upsd.users, you need a user entry which allows the "SET" action.
I'd recommend not using the "monmaster" user, but you could add to
that entry temporarily.

The upsd.users man page has an example "admin" user which would work:

I've done what you said but now..

root at ProLiant:/home/fabio# upsrw -u admin -p mypass -s 
ups.delay.shutdown=180 ups
Unexpected response from upsd: ERR READONLY
root at ProLiant:/home/fabio#

I hope this not mean this variable is readonly..
