On a sidenote, I had a really hard time getting the usbhid-ups driver

to a
dedicated box that is sufficiently fenced off from the rest of the
network).
I don't have my FreeBSD box handy, but I seem to remember having to
set permissions on both the bus (for libusb to enumerate the devices)
and on the device's /dev node itself.
When it ran as a non-privileged user, the usbhid driver seemed to
insist
on trying to load the "generic" driver, refusing to load the
Cyberpower
one. As root, it loaded up the proper driver, and all is good. May
just
be that my current FreeBSD-fu is low, or something.
Are you referring to the usbhid-ups driver for NUT, or the ugen
generic USB driver in the kernel?
Also, what version of FreeBSD are you using?
