side notes:
- I had a user report last week, and uncovered the above issue,
- a temporary solution is to either change the nut primary group to the
generic vboxusers (in /etc/passwd) or to move the nut rule to a number
greater than the vbox one. The former allows to use your UPS in/out vbox
while the latter will not allow the use of your UPS inside of vbox... up to
you
- in the long run, we (NUT) have to address a few USB related issues in NUT.
And we'll possibly have to use generic groups (
