Re: linux: port 4559 + Hylafax doc.

i would like to say something about my "workaround"
because of Matthias Apitz's and Jonathan Chen's mails:
i see your problems (aaarrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!!) when somebody is 
talkin about copying the passwordfile to another place and changes
the permissions, but ....
first of all it is much easier for "unauthorized people" to have a look
inside /etc/passwd than /var/spool/fax/hosts, because passwd has to be mode 644,
hosts have to be mode 600.
next thing is that hosts has the same syntax as passwd and normally it contains
the same persons that you would like to allow using the fax. 
so if you remove the "unpersons" like daemons from your copy you have the same
what you need as hosts file.
and -- last but not least -- everything works fine now (but there are some 
messages left:  FaxQueuer[172]: No regular expression for modem class
and during boottime: 
FIFO.ttyS3 cannot open no such file or device (something like that))

but all this shows -- and i would like to point it out -- that Gabriel
Fernandez (in his mail: Hylafax-documentation) is absolutely right if he says 
there is a need for a installation guide for linux-systems.
i was was never getting into this kind of trouble when i was installing flexfax 
on my indy.

Gruss              Regards
