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

Hello,

Well, I knew I forgot something in my last post.  Here's thecontents of
the file:

localhost
127.0.0.1
#^.*@.*\.rand\.com$:::   this would match any user at any host within
#                        the rand.com domain
^.*@*\.rand\.com$:::


as you can see, I figured taht the entry would match every host in the
rand.com domain(of which I am in a subnet of)  what I basically want it to
do is to accept faxes from any host on our network(all hosts are in
.rand.com) without caring about username, user id, or any kind of
password.

when i go on the whfc client box, i try logging in with my username and no
password, it asks that I must supply a password.(wont let me do anything
if i dont) if i do enter in a password, say a single space, then it tells
me the password is incorrect.

so, any more ideas?  i wish i could look into our logs, but they're
empty(logging facility levels specified in hylafax docs give me syslog
errors, unknown logging level etc)

cheers,
Josh
