no output are generated (as it's something that work
in background). But the right of the device file
(/proc/bus/usb/XXX/YYY) should have been modified
to rw-rw---- and root:nut.

Thanks to redo that test (manual call to libhidups)
and to check the device file perms.

IMPORTANT: before calling libhidups, you _must_
check the exact path of the device file, using lsusb
in order to have the right XXX/YYY.

that is really really strange. hotplug should be installed
by default!
if "rpm -q hotplug" gives an empty answer, try to install
hotplug, then unplug / replug the USB cord, ls on the
device file and report back...

I think we got it. But once more, I find really strange
that hotplug isn't installed. But I've not put a Require: hotplug
in the NUT SUSE packages, so it hasn't been managed at
install time (I thought any distro installs hotplug).
