Writing this up has been on my TODO list forever, but in the mean time, here's an email thread that talks about blacklisting the UPS from the uhid driver: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.monitoring.nut.user/4575 It's for a slightly different model, but the concept is the same: usbhid-ups uses libusb, which can only access USB devices with ugen* nodes. The only way to prevent uhid* from stealing the device (at the time of that thread - things may have changed) is to add your UPS to the blacklist. If you file a PR with FreeBSD, they may even add it for a future release. Then, you can consult section "4) Permissions" in this file: http://people.freebsd.org/~thierry/nut_FreeBSD_HowTo.txt Not sure if you mentioned which version of FreeBSD, but please keep us in the loop if these instructions aren't accurate anymore - that will be the basis of the official documentation. -- Charles Lepple clepple@gmail _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
