ALthough there's no documentation refrerring to it, you need to configure 
nut in FC using /etc/sysconfig/ups.  Things that you can set there need to 
be set there.  Other things are configured using the files in /etc/ups.

Also, there's a bug against the kernel (can't get to Bugzilla to check the 
number just now due to flakey net connection) regarding the hidups driver 
and unhandled interrupts that may cause you problems (unless it's fixed in 
the latest updates-testing kernel).
