[Nut-upsuser] Powerware 3105 - SuSE 10.0

[Kjell Claesson]

Hi Graham,

First of all i would like you to test this.
Comment out the 'user = nut' line in the ups.conf.

#user = nut

Then run the driver this way.

./bcmxcp_usb -DD -u root -a pw3105

If this returns anything you have a problem with the permission
on the '/proc/bus/usb/00x/00x'.

Then you have to fix this with the hotplug scripts.
If you have the latest udev and kernel the 'device'
/proc/bus/usb/00x/00x may be set like this

-rw-rw-r-- 1 root usb 52 20 apr 22.52 /proc/bus/usb/001/002

Then you may add the nut user to the usb group and it would work.
Maybe not the most secure way to do it, but it works until this
udev, hotplug, devices, thing have settled down.

Regards
Kjell
