RE: Hylafax boot funkiness...



I have also experienced this problem.  I am running a clean (read just
installed) copy of RH6.0 with just hylafax and VNC running on the server.  I
have exactly the same problem as below to the letter.  Not that big a deal
since I plan to never to reboot my server.  However, if in the long run,
this is not such a good thing as my replacement might not know how to reset
hylafax....

I like job security, but I would rather find a solution.  I thought it was
just a startup setting I did not know about as I am new to Linux and hylafax
and couldn't make a service run on startup if my life depended on it.

I'm running Hylafax 4.0pl2 on SuSE 6.0 with the 2.2.8 kernel with windows
clients running whfc.  I have commented out the Hylafax line in inetd.conf
per
info found on SuSE/Hylafax.

Both faxq and hfaxd are started however any faxes sent to the
server are queued but not sent (within the timeframe of my limited
paitence). 
Now (whether or not I kill the hfaxd and faxq processes), if I run faxsetup
Hylafax will start working properly and send the faxes in the queue
and from then on send immediately upon reciept.  I have tried running
'faxmodem
ttyS3' after boot, but that didn't help.  This kind of smells of a
permissions
thing, but I have been prodding and pushing at this for a week and a half
now
with no results.  I have also tried setting CHECK_PERMISSIONS=warn (as
opposed
to 'yes')in the boot.local again with no results.  Any suggestions at all
would
be appreicated.

Thanks,
