Nut upsuser - Sep 2010 - Problem w/ Belkin UPS on FreeBSD

I'm sure I'm missing something, but I can't seem to get NUT working
on FreeBSD.

bryce at tahiti[/usr/local/etc/nut]>cat ups.conf
[belkin]
	driver = usbhid-ups
	port = auto
	vendorid = 050d
	#productid = 0751

bryce at tahiti[/usr/local/etc/nut]>s /usr/local/libexec/nut/usbhid-ups
-DDDDD -a belkin
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.34 (2.4.1)
USB communication driver 0.31
send_to_all: SETINFO driver.parameter.port "auto"
send_to_all: SETINFO driver.parameter.vendorid "050d"
debug level is '5'
upsdrv_initups...
No appropriate HID device found
No matching HID UPS found


bryce at tahiti[/usr/ports/sysutils/openupsd]>s usbconfig
ugen1.2: <Belkin UPS Belkin> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=LOW (1.5Mbps)
pwr=ON

bryce at tahiti[/usr/ports/sysutils/openupsd]>dmesg | grep -i belkin
ugen1.2: <Belkin> at usbus1
uhid0: <Belkin Belkin UPS, class 0/0, rev 1.10/0.01, addr 2> on usbus1

Please advise, thanks!

Who owns /dev/usb/1.2.0 ? (and what perms)

You probably need to chown it to the user upsd will run as (eg uucp, nutmon,
nobody).

You can do this by putting a file into /usr/local/etc/devd which looks like..
notify 100 {
	match "vendor" "0x050d";
	match "product" "0x0751";
	action "/bin/chown nutmon: /dev/$device-name";
}

(then unplug/replug the UPS to see if it did it)
