[Nut-upsuser] NUT + devd + FreeBSD

[Daniel O'Connor]

I made the following devd script..

sh
cd /tmp
fetch 
mkdir /usr/local/etc/devd
sed -Ene 's/SYSFS\{idVendor\}==\"(.*)\", SYSFS\{idProduct\}==\"(.*)\", MODE=.*/attach 100 {\
        device-name "ugen[0-9]+";\
        match "vendor"  "0x\1";\
        match "product" "0x\2";\
        action "chown @RUN_AS_GROUP@ \/dev\/$device-name*; chmod 660 \/dev\/$device-name*";\
};\
/p' </usr/ports/sysutils/nut/work/nut-2.2.0/scripts/udev/nut-usbups.rules.in | sed -e 's#@RUN_AS_GROUP@#uucp#g' > /usr/local/etc/devd/nut.conf
/etc/rc.d/devd restart

Unfortunately the uucp user is not in operator so it can't search the USB
bus and hence the above doesn't work 100%.

I think probably the best way would be to make a nutmon user that is a member 
of the uucp and operator group.

I did that with..
echo '*LOCKED*' | pw useradd nutmon -u 95 -c 'NUT monitor user' -d /var/empty -g operator -G dialer -s /usr/sbin/nologin -H 0
then..
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/nut
make NUT_USER=nutmon NUT_GROUP=operator

And re-run the sed above but with operator instead of uucp.
