For the record: Everything I did was adding perm ugen* 0660 own ugen* root:uucp perm usb* 0660 own usb* root:uucp to /etc/devfs.conf The default user für nut is uucp on FreeBSD, so no need to add another user. Beware of the security implications with these rules! Bye Marius ___ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser

Please do. You may want to run the driver as root, to rule out any permissions problems usbhid-ups -D -u root -a If it doesn't work as root, changes are that the productid is unknown to us. If it only works as root, there may be a permissions problem.

It is currently not possible for me to reach the ups, but as far as I remember the vendorid was 0x051d. -D or more didn't bring up anything interesting. But I can rerun it and poste the output here when I'm at the machine again. ___ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser

Also, running the 'usbhid-ups' driver in debug mode (add '-D' to the commandline) may help to diagnose where things go wrong.
