<div>Well, did file two bugs. I believe that I might have found two...</div>
<div>I will take the source package and fix #708397 myself. I will wait for the maintainer what he says about the other one.</div>
<div>I will post the changed apc-mib.c here. Ok? Or shall I send it to someone else?</div>

<div>Debian Bug #708397: nut: APC SNMP set value does not work (wrong mib type declarations)<br/>
Package: nut<br/>
Version: 2.6.4-1<br/>
Severity: normal</div>
<div>Unable to set Values such as "Minimum battery level for restart after power off (percent)" on an APC Smart-UPS with AP9617. Can set battery change date.</div>
<div>I tried to set "Minimum battery level for restart after power off (percent)" to 90. And this gave "90". See below.<br/>
I saw in apc-mib.c that the type for this is declared as ST_FLAG_STRING. This is abolutely no string (so no 's' but 'i' would be correct).</div>
<div>Here comes the tcpdump:<br/>
snmpset -c private -v 1 10.100.200.30 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.5.2.6.0 i 90 makes this:<br/>
14:01:02.725830 IP 10.100.200.1.40893 > 10.100.200.30.161: C=private SetRequest(35) .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.5.2.6.0=90<br/>
14:01:02.759972 IP 10.100.200.30.161 > 10.100.200.1.40893: C=private GetResponse(35) .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.5.2.6.0=90</div>
<div>And the same with nut's upsset.cgi makes this:<br/>
13:58:40.196924 IP 10.100.200.1.38704 > 10.100.200.30.161: C=private SetRequest(36) .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.5.2.6.0="90"<br/>
13:58:40.223239 IP 10.100.200.30.161 > 10.100.200.1.38704: C=private GetResponse(36) badValue@1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.5.2.6.0="90"</div>
<div>So maybe a problem with "90" vs 90 ?</div>
<div>From the sources I saw that the same is true for the latest version of nut.</div>
<div>Please see this thread on nut ml http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsuser/2013-May/008400.html</div>

I agree with that assessment, but what about the error for the following call?<br/>

<br/>
That seems to be specifying an integer, which agrees with this:<br/>

<br/>
Does this call to nut_snmp_set() not result in a proper packet as seen in tcpdump?<br/>
<br/>
Since you're using Debian, and this bug would be present in the latest package version as well, I would recommend filing a bug there (and post a link to the bug here). That will make sure it doesn't fall through the cracks. We can continue to debug here as well.<br/>
<br/>
It is also possible to compile NUT from source with the same options that Debian uses, and just swap in the snmp-ups driver for testing.<br/>
