Nut upsuser - Jul 2006 - Problems with config of newhidups

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:

T:  Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#=  2 Spd=1.5 MxCh= 0

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

Unfortunately, the libhid.usermap file doesn't change permissions on
all systems (particularly those that use udev).

What version of Fedora Core is RHEL4 most similar to?

I do not have a /etc/hotplug.d/usb/ directory to put the hotplug stuff in.

My /etc/hotplug.d dir looks like this:
(pocono pts17) $ ll /etc/hotplug.d/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Mar 15 00:45 default

In addition /etc/udev dir looks like this:

Can you tell me where the rules are supposed to go or what I need to to do to
figure thing out??
