Can't get access to HylaFAX Server



HylaFAX,

I am running HylaFAX (tm) Version 4.0pl2 under S.U.S.E Linux 5.1 with
gcc 2.7.2.1 using a USRobotics 56K modem. I installed the rpm version
available from S.U.S.E

When I try to run sendfax, faxstat, etc, I get "Login failed: 530 User
root access denied." I get the same message with any other username.

I have uncommented out the line in hfaxd.conf to include access to
/var/spool/fax/etc/hosts.

I have made sure that the etc/hosts file is owned by fax. See below:

        -rw-------   1 fax      uucp           54 Jun 15 09:39 hosts

/var/log/messages generates the following when I try to run any fax
programs:

Jun 15 10:01:28 bby HylaFAX[1249]: Unable to open the user access file
/var/spool/fax/etc/hosts: No such file or directory
Jun 15 10:01:28 bby HylaFAX[1249]: HylaFAX LOGIN REFUSED (user denied)
FROM localhost [127.0.0.1], root

I'm so confused. I have tried finding the answers everywhere!

Thanks for your help!,

        -- Brian
