Hi all,
I just wanted to let you know that after I installed Nut 2.1, I was able to successfully get my Tripplite SMART1200LCD working. Thanks a bunch for all of the assistance! Please let me know if there is anything I can to to give back. ~Brian Foster

Hi all,
I guess this is more for the development side of things, rather than for my own benefit: In response to the permission problems I was experiencing, I looked at the udevinfo output for my Tripplite SMART1200LCD, and this is all it gives me:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/$ udevinfo -q all -p /class/usb_device/usbdev1.18
P: /class/usb_device/usbdev1.18
N: bus/usb/001/018
E: USB_BUS=001
E: USB_DEV=018

Did you try running "udevinfo" as root? It seems, if there is a
permission problem, you cannot open the device as a regular user,
hence not get any information about it.

man udevinfo states that these are the attributes that can be used when making rules for the udev .rules files. The obvious problem is that the only available information for the Tripplite SMART 1200 USB is its USB connectivity info, which changes with each unplug and boot. This makes it next to impossible to form dependable permissions rules. I think I'll take Peter's advice on his website and just run the apps (upsmon, upsdrvctl, etc) as root. If anyone has any better solutions, I would gladly be open to suggestions.
