    Hi Folks,
    
    I've been trying to use hylafax for a while. (v4.0pl0 on a
    Linux2.0.23). A few days ago someone posted a config file for a USR
    Sportster class1 (which is exactly what I have).  this is it I thought.
    Not yet.
    Now, I have more basic problems, which never happened before --- and
    haven't yet tried the config file.
    
    I started hylafax usig faxsetup.  after faxsetup is done, ps -aux only 
    reveals faxq.  hfaxd isn't there.  then I kill faxq and, by hand, start 
    
    hfaxd -i 4559
    /usr/local/sbin/faxq
    
    now ps -aux shows both.
    
    the last twolines of my  /etc/services file:
    
    hylafax 4559/tcp                # HylaFAX client-server protocol
    snpp    444/tcp         # Simple Network Paging Protocol
    
    
    now if I try to do anything:
    
    # faxstat -v
    Trying localhost (127.0.0.1) at port 4559...
    Connected to localhost.
    220 pcastro7.logic.com.br server (HylaFAX (tm) Version 4.0pl0) ready.
    -> USER root
    530 User root access denied.
    Login failed: 530 User root access denied.

    this is in /var/adm/syslog
    
    May 23 18:30:50 pcastro7 HylaFAX[782]: Access control file not mode 600; access denied.
    May 23 18:47:24 pcastro7 HylaFAX[807]: Access control file not mode 600; access denied.
    
    
    I suppose this is the key to the problem, but what file is this???

it, who understands it forget it soon. :-))

(Don't know if this is the correct translation to English)

Just read the man page of HylaFAX's host(4F) file about the
mode/owner of this file and compare it with the syslog message
you've included.
