Hello.
Since a few weeks I have a problem with NUT not starting due to USB
device permissions; I don't know if it was a FreeBSD upgrade or a NUT
upgrade that broke this, but this is happening on several different systems.
I *think* it happened around the time I switched to the 2022Q3 branch
for ports.
# service nut restart
nut not running? (check /var/db/nut/upsd.pid).
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.8.0
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.47 (2.8.0)
USB communication driver (libusb 1.0) 0.43
interrupt pipe disabled (add 'pollonly' flag to 'ups.conf' to get rid of this
message)

The only way I was able to solve this is by issuing:
upsdrvctl -u root start
upsdrvctl stop
service nut start
However, I need to manually do this after each reboot.
Any hint?
bye & Thanks
av.
