Thanks Charles/Kjell,

I installed from the RPMS. If I use -u root seems to find the UPS. How do I 
make it work? (single host)

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# /sbin/bcmxcp_usb -a pw5110
Network UPS Tools - BCMXCP UPS driver 0.10 (2.0.3)

Can't set POWERWARE USB configuration
Unable to find POWERWARE UPS device on USB bus

Things to try:

 - Connect UPS device to USB bus

 - Run this driver as another user (upsdrvctl -u or 'user=...' in ups.conf).
   See upsdrvctl(8) and ups.conf(5).

Fatal error: unusable configuration
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# /sbin/bcmxcp_usb -a pw5110 -u root
Network UPS Tools - BCMXCP UPS driver 0.10 (2.0.3)

Model = POWERWARE UPS    1000VA
Firmware = 00.50
Shutdown delay =  60 seconds 


Changed ups.conf

[pw5110]
    driver = bcmxcp_usb
    port = auto
    shutdown_delay = 60
    desc = "USB ups"



Regards
Steve

The port value for many USB drivers is just a placeholder, and does not refer 
to the actual USB device path. I would suggest leaving it as "auto" to avoid 
confusion later on.

Which version of NUT are you using? Did you compile from source, or are you 
using RPMs from FC5?

In the source code, there is a directory called either scripts/hotplug-ng or 
scripts/udev. Please follow the instructions there.

Alternatively, you can test with "-u root" on the driver command line, but this 
is less secure.
