Thanks, the strange is that I could set in this way the master user. At NAS4Free forum cannot get help, I presented the problem there too, but no real help.

The development version of NAS4Free seems to be regenerating the entire upsd.users file: http://sourceforge.net/p/nas4free/code/848/tree/trunk/build/ports/nut/files/nut.sh.in To address your original concern (adding remote users for monitoring), I would edit the RC file, which is probably /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut, to include something like this at the end of the nut_mkconf() function: cat <<__EOF__ >> ${nut_upsd_users} [monslave] password = abcd upsmon slave __EOF__ (Be sure to add it after the line containing "... > ${nut_upsd_users}") Of course, this will be lost when you upgrade NAS4Free, but maybe you can convince one of the developers to add this as a core feature, such that the list of slave users can be read from the XML configuration file. -- Charles Lepple clepple at gmail
Thank You very much !!!
Now I see how was entered the master password in the file :
"-v "concat(' password = ',//system/password)" -n
\"
I will test the proposed solution.
Two questions - Do I need separate users for each WinNUT client or
they can use the same user for monitoring&shutdown client machines ?
- This is maybe a newbie question, how can be set the
winnut client app to make a visual warning for pc user (not just in
log file) that UPS is on battery and has N minutes before shutdown ?
As I see, the shutdown starts at winnut client just when the monitored
ups timing countdown is ended and shutdown is initiated (on the machine
with NUT on it).

There is some problem with formatting :( If I paste how was written, the structure is wrong formatted, is putted somewhere right after the end of 1st part with master in the generated file.
