Description of problem: For whatever reason, the nut tools need to be run with -u root (even when running them as root) to be allowed access to the devices.

hi, thanks for reporting this. Seems there is some problem with udev rules and device permissions. Using -u root in init script is definitely wrong. please check permissions that are used for your ups device. Use lsusb to get list of usb devices. Find UPS in the output, for example: > Bus 004 Device 003: ID 0463:ffff MGE UPS Systems UPS important numbers are Bus 004 and Device 003. Get file permissions of ls -l /dev/bus/usb/<Bus number>/<Device number> for my example it'd be ls -l /dev/bus/usb/004/003 > crw-rw-r-- 1 root uucp 189, 386 2009-05-25 20:34 /dev/bus/usb/004/003 Also please add output of id nut thanks
