Re: [hylafax-users] faxrm and admin password: Password incorrect

["Harry M. Aasterud" <harry@aasterudweb.com>]

Hi,

I encountered the same problem, but surprisingly it worked.... Executed
following :

(Running RH6.2)
login root
sendfax -d 12 34 56 78 config.test.
faxadduser -a 1234 -p 1234 root.
faxrm -d 1
"job 1 removed"

To remarks (or should i say questions):

Why didn't faxrm asked my password
Although I configures my modem with ttyS0, a ps -aus results in faxsend -m cua0
send/q1. The faxnumber contained a 0, because it needs to dial out to a city
line. Problem here is that the fax doesn't goes out. Could cua0 be the cause of
it?
