Markku: I'm close - I changed the device entry in /etc/sysconfig/ups to /dev/usb/hiddev2 And I added a username and password to /etc/upsd.users. Now, when I restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/ups, I get: Starting hidups: Network UPS Tools: HID UPS driver 0.11 (1.2.0) Warning: This is an experimental driver. Some features may not function correctly. hiddev open /dev/usb/hiddev2: Permission denied [FAILED] Starting upsd: [ OK ] Starting UPS monitor (master): [ OK ] Also, I'm periodically getting broadcast messages from the system stating: UPS UPS@xxxxxxxxx is unavailable I have a feeling that this broadcast message is due to the system not properly reading /dev/usb/hiddev2. - Michael -----Original Message----- From: shrike-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:shrike-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Markku Kolkka Sent: Saturday, June 28, 2003 6:16 AM To: shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: USB Issue Viestissä Lauantai 28.
