[Nut-upsuser] Problem making usbhid-ups working on Centos 5.7

[Frantz de Germain]

Hello,

I've compiled and installed nut-2.7.2 on a Xen server (Actually XCP
1.6/Centos 5.7) to manage a Dell UPS 2700W.

Here is my ups.conf :

[SU27003U-08]
        driver = usbhid-ups
        port = auto
        desc = "SU27003U-08"

52-nut-usbups.rules have well been installed in /lib/udev/rules.d/. I've put
it in /etc/udev/rules.d/ too.

I've rebooted the machine.

I've the following error :

# upsdrvctl -u ups start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.2
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.38 (2.7.2)
USB communication driver 0.32
No matching HID UPS found
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)

With root it is ok :

# /usr/bin/usbhid-ups -a SU27003U-08 -u root
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.38 (2.7.2)
USB communication driver 0.32
Using subdriver: MGE HID 1.33


Files /dev/bus/usb/00* are always owned by root with group root, despite the
52-nut-usbups.rules file.


lsusb gives :

Bus 001 Device 008: ID 047c:ffff Dell Computer Corp. 


Regards.
