Re: removal of support for /etc/hotplug/usb/

["Jean-Luc Coulon (f5ibh)" <jean.luc.coulon@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I've an ups (MGE Ellipse) which has an usb connection supported via  
nut/nut-usb.

nut-usb uses an hotplug script and usermap:
/etc/hotplug/usb/libhidups
/etc/hotplug/usb/libhid.usermap

Just after udev updrade, it stopped working.

I've reported a bug against nut-usb:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=332939

After reading this thread, I've wrote an udev rule:
# udev rules for hid ups
#
BUS!="usb", ACTION!="add", GOTO="libhidups_rules_end"

# MGE Ellipse
SYSFS{idVendor}=="0463", SYSFS{idProduct}=="ffff",  
RUN+="/etc/hotplug/usb/libhidups"
# other to be added
#....
LABEL=libhidups_rules_end"

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 52 2005-10-12 14:09 /proc/bus/usb/002/003

The contents of /etc/hotplug/usb/libhidups is:
# This file was installed by the libhid Debian package.
#
# This script changes the permissions and ownership of a USB device  
under
# /proc/bus/usb to grant access to this device to users in the nut  
group.
#
# Ownership is set to root.nut, permissions are set to 0660.
#
# Arguments :
# -----------
# ACTION=[add|remove]
# DEVICE=/proc/bus/usb/BBB/DDD
# TYPE=usb

if [ "$ACTION" = "add" -a "$TYPE" = "usb" ]; then
  chown root:nut "$DEVICE"
  chmod 0660 "$DEVICE"
fi

But it seems that my rule is wong as the owner/mode of the ups device  
arent modified.

With a previous version I get:
-rw-rw----  1 root nut 52 2005-10-12 14:13 /proc/bus/usb/002/003

What can be wrong in what I did?
