[hylafax-users] Hylafax and sambafax not working



RedHat 7.2
Hylafax-4.1.2
Samba-2.2.4-1

I have searched and followed every mail archive relating to this and
still can not get it to work. I can fax from a Windows client through
WHFC and Cypheus just fine. I can not get faxing through samba to work
tho. By putting echo statements in the sambafax script, it appears that
none of the variables are being filled. Checking the
/var/spool/lpd/faxlp/status.faxlp file, I see and error "'sendfax: No
destination specified.". I sent the output of the echo statements to
/tmp/parms. Checking that file I see the -d parameter as
"-d/var/spool/lpd/faxlp" which is incorrect for the <destination>
parameter. Where am I going wrong? I have followed the instructions on
the hylafax web site, and the ones on the sambafax web site. I have
found numerous people with the same problem in the archives, but no
solution.

Please help,
- Gary

PS. My only reason for this is to setup an automated fax system. I have
a program that used to use DDE and OLE to auto-send faxes via FaxServe
on Novell Netware server. That server died and I convinced the client to
replace it with Linux. He is very happy except for this issue. He needs
the auto-faxing back. If there is a better solution, I'm all ears!!!!!
