Re: flexfax: now, for the windows client :/

[Josh Duncan <duncan@msmd.com>]

I have readthe hosts(4) man page, and much as I think I understand it I
believe I have set it up so that users can print/fax from any host on our
network using any username with no password, but the whfc client still
disagrees with me.

I will try it thought to set up a user(from ADDUSER in the hylafax server
connection) with username and password, and see if that helps.. but first
I need a valid authorization string and that I am not too sure on(I think
i have it right, but since it fails I can't be certain(as in, what fails?
whfc, or my hosts entry?)

hope I didn't lose you with that stream of thought above, tia for any
suggestions,
Josh
