It looks like the simplest way to handle this on Debian is to add the system 'nut' user to the 'dialout' group: $ sudo adduser nut dialout > I have been meaning to collect some information on using serial UPSes with > NUT via USB-to-serial converters, but you can adapt the udev rules to match > your converter, and even create a symlink so that it will not change names. > (If a process has /dev/ttyUSB0 open, and the USB cable is unplugged, udev > will create /dev/ttyUSB1 when it is next plugged in, which will not match the > configuration file) > Just confirmed that the default udev rules for Raspbian wheezy will create some symlinks in /dev/serial/by-path and /dev/serial/by-id which should be useful. I have an inexpensive USB-to-serial cable which does not have a unique serial number, so I can only use one of that model at a time, and still uniquely identify it. But this is what it produces: $ ls -l /dev/serial/by-id/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Dec 31 1969 usb-Prolific_Technology_Inc._USB-Serial_Controller-if00-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB0 Although it is unwieldy, the pathnames under /dev/serial/by-id should always point to the correct /dev/ttyUSB? node. -- Charles Lepple clepple@gmail
