Apologies for the number of emails; I just tried starting as user root and the error message changes but the outcome is the same:<br><br>---------------<br>[root@www drivers]# /sbin/upsdrvctl -u root -DDDDD start<br>Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller

<br>[root@www drivers]# ll /dev/bus/usb/001<br>
total 0<br>
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 189, 0 2008-01-08 14:16 001<br>
crw-rw-r-- 1 root uucp 189, 1 2008-01-13 21:22 002<br><br>The device in question is 002 and these same exact permissions work fine sometimes. I had the above permission setup following my original thread and they worked fine till the last power cut (4 days ago). uucp is the right group since nut is a member of uucp (some Fedora quirk).
