I agree - when trying to make tripplite_usb work on FreeBSD 6.x, I saw a lot of weird problems due to the kernel requesting updates from the hardware far more often than the NUT drivers would typically request them. The kernel buffers would fill, and the packets would get misaligned. It was a mess. Might not be as bad with usbhid-ups, but I think the upgrade is worthwhile for long-stability of your USB devices. johnea might have more up-to-date information on which devices nodes will need their permissions changed such that NUT can access them while not running as root. If not, I can boot my 8.x box and see what needs to be done. _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
