I'm trying to get NUT running. It fails to start because it setuids

This fails with EACCESS because:

[root@monster tmp]# ls -al /dev/bus/usb/006/001
crw-rw-r--+ 1 root root 189, 640 Nov 11 13:49 /dev/bus/usb/006/002
[root@monster tmp]# getfacl /dev/bus/usb/006/002
getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: dev/bus/usb/006/002
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rw-
group::rw-
group:lirc:rw-
mask::rw-
other::r--

So the ACLs give access to USB devices to the 'lirc' user, and 'nut' can't open this.
 ...

I don't know about ACLs, but how about:

setfacl -m u:nut:rw /dev/bus/usb/006/001

from `man setfacl`

That'll work until the next reboot, when everything gets reset.

Anyway, after poking around I found /usr/lib/udev/rules.d. nut installed a nice config file in there that enumerated all the USB vendor+product IDs and made the corresponding USB device nodes' permissions accessible to nut.

Unfortunately, the lirc-core package installed its own set of rules that overrode that, and, somewhat aggresively, claimed all usb devices for its own use, and reset their ACLs. This is a bug in the lirc-core package, and fully uninstalling lirc-core fixed this. Created bug 1648766 to document this.

P.S. This is really an awesome directory to dump configuration files into: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d. Apparently, /etc is not good enough, for udev.
