WG: help!!! client access (host.hfaxd)



Title: WG: flexfax: help!!! client access (host.hfaxd)

ping from server works. (in resolv.conf are entrys for the DNS Servers)
a new entry for the client in the host file remove "130 Warning, ...", but "Access denied" further appears.

>Thanks for answer.
>The first entry in my "/var/spool/fax/etc/hosts.hfaxd" is ".*"
my first entry is "localhost" second is "127.0.0.1" but i think this is not
important here.

>The command "telnet hostaddr 4559" causes this messages:
>130 Warning, no inverse adress mapping for client host name "my pc".
is "my pc" an ip-address like x.x.x.x or a name?

can you use "ping x.x.x.x" to ping from your server to your client?
i think you can't use "ping mypc"?
hfaxd wants to know the name of your pc and starts a reverse dns lookup.

have a look at your /etc/hosts (and maybe /etc/resolv.conf also)
you should make an entry for your client in /etc/hosts
then you should be able to use ping mypcname"
then telnet to hfaxd again.

for testing you may add an entry
.*
to host.hfaxd
this allows all machines to connect to hylafax
try "telnet hostaddr 4559"
enter "user <yourusername>"
you should get "user <yourusername> logged in"
type "quit" to quit

Subject: flexfax: help!!! client access (host.hfaxd)


Hello.
I read a lot of information to hosts.hfaxd, but all the same which I write
there - I get a " ACCESS denied " and a password query of the WHFC Client.
"chmod 0600 hosts.hfaxd" didn't help .
Can anybody help?
