ok, right permissions.
Note that you launch the driver (or the nut init script)
with root right. But these are then dropped to switch
to the nobody user (on SuSE)...

fine too

The 3 above outputs validate that the hotplug is
working. Thus newhidups should be working too.

yep, needed to get a good productivity level on NUT again ;-)

With the above, everything should roll...

So, try the following (as root):
- "export USB_DEBUG=3D3"
- "/usr/lib/ups/driver/newhidups -DDDDD auto"
- if that doesn't work, try "/usr/lib/ups/driver/newhidups -DDDDD -u no=
body auto"

We will see what is the remaining problem... if there is one.
but once more, it should be fine now.

Thanks for your patience,
