However, if I try to run usbhid-ups as user "nut", I get:

Did you pass "--with-user=nut" to ./configure?
If so, you should be able to test with just "sudo ./usbhid-ups -a
usb"
(use sudo for root access, and let the driver setuid() to "nut".)
For the upsd issue, check your state path and pid paths (also
options to
./configure).
Sorry, I should have clarified this. My configure options were:
./configure --with-user=nut --with-group=dialout --with-statepath=/
var/run/
nut --with-pidpath=/var/run/nut --with-altpidpath=/var/run/nut --
sysconfdir=/
etc/ups --with-drvpath=/sbin --with-all --with-pkgconfig-dir=/usr/lib/
pkgconfig --disable-static --without-ipv6
mostly ripped from the Fedora 12 2.4.1 specfile. I'm pretty sure the
--with-user=nut options is in effect since I instrumented
libusb_get_report to
print the results of getresuid().
If so, then my original suggestion still stands: "sudo ./usbhid-ups -a
usb"
