Sorry for the delay in replying, I forgot about this email :( I think the wildcard was there because of the way the previous USB stack worked - it created /dev/ugen0.1 (one node for each endpoint) but you only got /dev/ugen0 from devd and so if your program tried to do anything except send control messages it would fail. With respect to device-name being empty - I guess things changed as it worked for me when I wrote it :) I don't actually use devd.conf currently as I lost the patch so I resorted to putting the nut user in operator (bleh) which has access to the USB device nodes by default. I did some fiddling and came up with.. notify 100 { match "system" "USB"; match "subsystem" “DEVICE"; match "type" "ATTACH"; match "vendor" "0x0463"; match "product" "0xffff"; action "chgrp uucp /dev/$cdev; chmod g+rw /dev/$cdev"; }; This works for my MGE Ellipse and I don’t see why it wouldn’t work more generally if your script was modified. FYI devd sees the following when the device is connected Processing event '!system=USB subsystem=DEVICE type=ATTACH ugen=ugen1.2 cdev=ugen1.2 vendor=0x0463 product=0xffff devclass=0x00 devsubclass=0x00 sernum="000000000" release=0x4241 mode=host port=1 parent=ugen1.1' Pushing table setting system=USB setting subsystem=DEVICE setting type=ATTACH setting ugen=ugen1.2 setting cdev=ugen1.2 setting vendor=0x0463 setting product=0xffff setting devclass=0x00 setting devsubclass=0x00 setting sernum=000000000 setting release=0x4241 setting mode=host setting port=1 setting parent=ugen1.1 There is also a subsystem=INTERFACE event which is very similar. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
