[Nut-upsuser] i am stuck with setup :)

[Vladimir Micovic]

Update:

I resolve prob. Which was with permissions in /var/state
And now when I try to start upsdrvctl I got:
# bin/upsdrvctl  start local_mon
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.6.3
Network UPS Tools - Megatec/Q1 protocol USB driver 0.04 (2.6.3)
Can't claim USB device [0665:5161]: could not detach kernel driver from
interface 0: Operation not permitted
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)

I don't think I remember seeing which OS you are using, so I don't know what
scripts start programs like upsd or upsmon.

I tend not to run with "user = root", so I am not sure what the implications
are. I prefer to run NUT unprivileged, with udev rules to set the proper
permissions on the /dev node for the UPS. If upsd and the driver both run
under the same user ID, you shouldn't get the "Permission denied" message
you listed below.
