Q: access control problem
HylaFAX version: v4.0 pl 0
running on host: Linux PC (v1.2.13 Kernel, CND distr.)
compiled with: gcc 2.7.0
modem: Creatix LC144
client PC's via: WinFlex v0.4 beta
I'm running HylaFAX on the configuration stated above. It's a beautifully
crafted software (honestly), thanks to uncle Sam :-). I got the following
(probably WinFlex related) problem:
Q: How can I restrict client access via WinFlex to the users named in
<spooling_area>/etc/hosts? Access is possible though neither the
user nor the client PC is in <spooling_area>/etc/hosts.
(guess: WinFlex uses the old version 3 hfaxd protocol, does it
allow access without a proper login procedure?)
Playing around with multiple user access I encountered another problem:
Q: Being FaxMaster / root@faxserver, how can I delete somebody else's
fax jobs? faxrm <job_id> fails with the message
"Operation not permitted" (or the like)
Tracing faxrm's communication with hfaxd via the -v option reveals
that faxrm won't go for ADMINistrative rights even if the user invoking
faxrm has a admin password set in <spooling_area>/etc/hosts.
(cure: Yes, I could always
% telnet localhost fax
USER xxx
PASS psst!
ADMIN psssssst!!
JKILL nnn
QUIT
but this a bit wicked to do every time :-()
That's it, thanks.
Eule.
P.S.: This is the first time I'm dealing with a mailing list,
haven't heard about the rules & therefore beg your pardon
for not sitcking to them.
