Hi Marc,
the answer to your question is contained in the file INSTALL,
distributed with NUT, section 6 "Set ownership data and permissions on
your serial or USB ports that go to your UPS hardware."
Quote:
"The setup for USB ports is slightly more complicated. Device
files for USB devices, such as /proc/bus/usb/002/001, are usually
created "on the fly" when a device is plugged in, and disappear
when the device is disconnected. Moreover, the names of these
device files can change randomly. To set up the correct
permissions for the USB device, you may need to set up (operating
system dependent) hotplugging scripts. Sample scripts and
information are provided in the scripts/hotplug and
scripts/hotplug-ng directories. (If you want to try if a driver
works without setting up hotplugging, you can add the "-u root"
option to upsd, upsmon, and drivers; this should allow you to
follow the below instructions. However, don't forget to set up the
correct permissions later!)."
Note that /dev/hiddev0 is not mentioned anywhere in these instructions
- for good reason, because NUT does not use this device to access the
USB port.
Since you are apparently on Linux, you may also find the instructions
at http://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/ups/backups.html helpful; they
are for an APC but should work analogously for Belkin.
