I've noticed that the udev patch from SJR only apply the rules upon an unplug/replug of the UPS' USB cord. you can check the rule application using: 1) lsusb to identify the Bus and Device number (ex: Bus 002, Device 004) 2) then do an "ls -l /dev/bus/usb/XXX/YYY" where XXX is the Bus number, and YYY the device number. you should have "root:nut"-- cheers, Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert R&D - Eaton - http://www.eaton.com/mgeops Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://people.debian.org/~aquette/ Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/
