You may want to find a newer RPM (from rawhide?) - we're on 2.6.2 now. > and when I run lsusb I can see the UPS that it is hooked up > > Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0d9f:0004 Powercom Co., Ltd Make sure the nut user can write to /dev/bus/usb/005/002 (or wherever usbdevfs/usbfs is mounted).

Search for 0d9f in your NUT udev rules file, and copy one of those lines (replacing the product ID with yours, 0004). _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
