NAME
upsd.conf - Configuration for Network UPS Tools upsd
DESCRIPTION
upsd uses this file to control access to the server and set some other miscellaneous configuration values. This file contains details on access controls, so keep it secure. Ideally, only the upsd process should be able to read it.
CONFIGURATION DIRECTIVES
"MAXAGE seconds"
upsd usually allows a driver to stop responding for up to 15
seconds before declaring the data "stale". If your driver takes a
very long time to process updates but is otherwise operational, you
can use MAXAGE to make upsd wait longer.
Most users should leave this at the default value.
"STATEPATH path"
Tell upsd to look for the driver state sockets in path rather than
the default that was compiled into the program.
"LISTEN interface port"
Bind a listening port to the interface specified by its Internet
address. This may be useful on hosts with multiple interfaces. You
should not rely exclusively on this for security, as it can be
subverted on many systems.
Listen on TCP port port instead of the default value which was
compiled into the code. This overrides any value you may have set
with configure --with-port. If you don't change it with configure
or this value, upsd will listen on port 3493 for this interface.
Multiple LISTEN addresses may be specified. The default is to bind
to 127.0.0.1 if no LISTEN addresses are specified (and ::1 if IPv6
support is compiled in).
LISTEN 127.0.0.1
LISTEN 192.168.50.1
LISTEN ::1
LISTEN 2001:0db8:1234:08d3:1319:8a2e:0370:7344
This parameter will only be read at startup. You'll need to restart
(rather than reload) upsd to apply any changes made here.
"MAXCONN connections"
This defaults to maximum number allowed on your system. Each UPS,
each LISTEN address and each client count as one connection. If the
server runs out of connections, it will no longer accept new
incoming client connections. Only set this if you know exactly what
you're doing.
"CERTFILE certificate file"
When compiled with SSL support with OpenSSL backend, you can enter
the certificate file here. The certificates must be in PEM format
and must be sorted starting with the subject's certificate (server
certificate), followed by intermediate CA certificates (if
applicable_ and the highest level (root) CA. It should end with the
server key. See docs/security.txt or the Security chapter of NUT
user manual for more information on the SSL support in NUT.
"CERTPATH certificate database"
When compiled with SSL support with NSS backend, you can enter the
certificate path here. Certificates are stored in a dedicated
database (splitted in 3 files). Specify the path of the database
directory.
"CERTIDENT certificate name database password"
When compiled with SSL support with NSS backend, you can specify
the certificate name to retrieve from database to authenticate
itself and the password required to access certificate related
private key.
"CERTREQUEST certificate request level"
When compiled with SSL support with NSS backend and client
certificate validation (disabled by default, see
docs/security.txt), you can specify if upsd requests or requires
client's' certificates. Possible values are :
* 0 to not request to clients to provide any certificate
* 1 to require to all clients a certificate
* 2 to require to all clients a valid certificate

Opportunity
Personal Opportunity - Free software gives you access to billions of dollars of software at no cost. Use this software for your business, personal use or to develop a profitable skill. Access to source code provides access to a level of capabilities/information that companies protect though copyrights. Open source is a core component of the Internet and it is available to you. Leverage the billions of dollars in resources and capabilities to build a career, establish a business or change the world. The potential is endless for those who understand the opportunity.
Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.
Free Software
Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.
Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.
Free Books
The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.
Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.
Education
Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.
Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
