Made no diff when I pasted that in & erased the other, sorry. >"port" does not matter here, it just has to be something (the Linux / >dev/bus/usb addresses change based on what order things are plugged >in, as well as the kernel version and phase of the moon). > >The key to your setup is specifying "usbhid-ups" as the driver name. > >Out of curiosity, do you get any more detail from 'lsusb -vv' if you >run it as root? I don't think I've noticed as I rarely run as a user, only when working with a new amanda install, or working on my email setup. That all runs as un- privileged users. Basic security, proof of everything but my short, aged, diabetic & occasionally a bit shaky fingers. They will be 75 in October. :) With dd-wrt standing at the net doorway with both armour and heavy duty firepower, I haven't been touched in years. Best kept firewall secret in the business I think. The -vv is hugely verbose, the rest of that entry I posted is another 100 or more lines & I didn't figure it was germane to the discussion, so I snipped the paste. And I just tried it as gene, and was denied access to much of the lsusb output. It did see the ups though. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
