Package name nut
Date January 27th, 2005
Advisory ID MDKA-2005:007
Affected versions 10.0, 10.1, CS3.0
Synopsis Updated nut package provide fixed initscript

Problem Description

A bug in the upsd initscript used by nut exists where it starts
the upsd/powerdown script earlier in the halt/shutdown process to
ensure it still has access to USB. However, this was done too
earlier, while the root partition was still mounted in read/write
mode. Due to this delay, it was possible that the UPS would run
out of power before a clean halt. The updated packages are fixed
to remove the delay that could cause the problem.

It is important to note that users make sure their UPS has at least a
15 second delay before shutting down; most UPS units have this feature
by default, but not all. Users can also manage the shutdown delay in
the nut configuration file if their nut-driver supports it.
