I had not done that. The source did not have scripts/udev but did have
scripts/hotplug. I read the README for scripts/hotplug and installed the 2
files as follows:
[root]->l /etc/hotplug/usb
total 8
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  478 Jun  3 14:07 libhidups
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1502 Jun  3 14:08 libhid.usermap

It also said: call 'update-usb.usermap' or equivalent if needed
Using yum whatprovides indicates that there are no packages that provide
 this. I do not know what the equivalent would be.??

I downloaded the 2.0.4 source tar.gz from networkupstools.org.

I ran the /etc/hotlug/usb/libhidups manually and verified the results.
Then ran:
/usr/local/ups/bin/newhidups -a ups -DD displays:

Network UPS Tools: New USB/HID UPS driver 0.28 (2.0.4)

The last entry appears to be the UPS as that is the time I un-pluged and
re-pluged the ups.

Thanks,
