The name of the file you need to modify varies. On my openSUSE-11.3  
system, this file is '/etc/udev/rules.d/52-nut-usbups.rules'. About  
half way down this file you'll find the following entry (some fields  
may have different names and values, be sure to use the ones from  
*your* system):

#  APC
#  various models  - usbhid-ups
SYSFS{idVendor}=="051d", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0002", MODE="664", GROUP="daemon"

Right below these lines, add the following:

SYSFS{idVendor}=="051d", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0003", MODE="664", GROUP="daemon"

The changes to this file will require restarting udev. I'm not sure  
what the best way is. If not inconvenient, I'd suggest to just reboot  
the system (this guarantees that the new rules are in effect).

Best regards, Arjen
