[Nut-upsuser] Problems with config of newhidups

[Tom Diehl]

Hi all,

I just downloaded, built and installed nut-2.0.4-pre2. I have an APC
Smart ups 3000 connected via a usb cable. I have compiled and installed
the usb drivers.

I installed the libhidups and libhid.usermap per the README.

  I have the following ups.conf:

[APC-3000-ups]
     driver = newhidups
     port = auto
     desc = "APC smart 3000"

When I try to start the driver I get the following output:

(pocono pts19) # ./upsdrvctl -v start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.0.4-pre2
exec: /usr/local/ups/bin/newhidups -a APC-3000-ups
Network UPS Tools: New USB/HID UPS driver 0.28 (2.0.4-pre2)

No matching USB/HID UPS found
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)
(pocono pts19) #

/proc/bus/usb/devices shows the following:

E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   6 Ivl=100ms

Can anyone give me an idea how to get this working?

The machine is RHEL4 x86_64.

Tom
