The data is flowing though, or is it, ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1 are in use here, and the hiddev0 and hidraw0 devices have been nuked till the next time I unplug and replug the cable. Is this a situation where I'll have to crawl under the desk and do a momentary disconnect for every time I try to run this? Where its at, and my 75 year old bones don't really want to do that too many times. I get enough exercise just pushing my luck & some woodworking these days. If this is a redhat-ism, then I can build the tarball if that would help, but the lack of specifics in the error messages sucks. Just who the hell needs to own this /var/run/nut directory anyway? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
