Personally, I made it working with this entry in devd.conf :

attach 100 {

match product 0x;
action /usr/sbin/chown -R -L uucp:uucp /dev/$device-name;

We search for a VendorID / ProductID combination. The one you posted earlier

  idVendor = 0x0463
  idProduct = 0x

is one of the combinations that are supported by the usbhid-ups driver  
(it is used for all MGE / Eaton devices with USB HID PDC support). If  
the driver can find this ID in the list of attached devices, it should  
find it. But I guess this is something related to the FreeBSD USB

2011-03-05 Thread Frederic Praca 
Great !! It worked.
In fact, the '-u' parameter you gave me allowed me to test as root and
see it working.
Changing owner to /dev/usb/4.2.* seemed to be insufficient and after
changing the owner of the /dev/ugen4.2.* link, it finally got detected.
Finally, it was easier than I thought and I should have tried this
beforehand.

Sorry for this dumb question :-)

Thanks for helping me, every remaining tasks are FreeBSD specific.

 I built my NUT port with a new user (nutmon) vs using uucp but that

 What happens when you run it with -D -D -D to enable debugging?

I have to manage an Eaton Ellipse ASR 750 VA UPS under a FreeBSD 8.2 server.
I used nut from ports collection but I'm unable to detect the UPS by  
USB cable.


[...]


Any idea of how to make it works ?


Did you follow the FreeBSD installation HOWTO that's mentioned in the  
documentation?

I don't think this will work due to the change to a new USB stack in 8.x

For a quick test try..
sudo chown :uucp /dev/usb/4.2.*

Then retry starting NUT.
