[hylafax-users] Hylafax and RH6

[Marcin Krol <mark@btweng.krakow.pl>]

Hello Darren,


I used the hylafax-4.1beta3-1rh6.i386.rpm from ftp.hylafax.org to set up hylafax
and it gave me troubles with locking the serial device. During reading HylaFax
mailing lists, I noticed that mainly RH6 users have the same problems as I do.

The cu also has the problem:

[root@inet misc]# cu -l ttyS01
cu: creat (/var/lock/TMP0000007364): Brak dostêpu [MK: it reads "no
access", I use localized version of Mandrake]
cu: ttyS01: Line in use

I checked the permissions of the /var/lock itself and they seem fine:

drwxrwxr-x    6 root     uucp         4096 lut 26 19:36 lock/

There are some strange file ownership rights set on the device that
was created during setup of the modem:

prw-rw-rw-    1 uucp     wheel           0 lut 26 19:00 FIFO.cua1|

(I changed permissions manually later but it didn't help after
finding mail from some guy from Germany that even though cu isn't
suid but strace shows uucp's effective uid later, so I thought
that changing permissions for ugo could help such programs
access the device, but it didn't help).

Minicom seems to have no problem communicating with modem. The
modem itself probably isn't a problem since it's on the recommended
list for Hylafax. Anybody knows the cause of the problem?
