- The `configure` script would now probe (if it can) the operating systems for
75+
more user and group account names, such as `upsmon`, `nutmon`, `ups`, `nut`
76+
(last hit wins, separately for user and groups accounts) settling on one of
77+
those if detected instead of `nobody` (and optionally `nogroup`). It would
78+
also warn if `nobody` or `nogroup` end up being used for a build. This is
79+
not likely to affect package builds (which usually define the accounts to
80+
use), but may (hopefully positively) affect rebuilds of NUT on systems where
81+
an older version is already deployed. [#3173]
