Generally, putting "auto" as the port value is sufficient. to make a quick test, launch the driver as root, ie: /path/to/usbhid-ups -u root -a upsname it should acquire the connexion and talk to the device. if it's ok, also try lsusb as root, you should see your device. then check the devices permissions, with the info from lsusb (Bus XXX, Device YYY) on /dev/bus/usb/XXX/YYY it should be sufficient for the "nut" user (the exact user name depends on the distro...) cheers, Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert R&D - Eaton - http://www.eaton.com/mgeops Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://www.debian.org Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/
