[hylafax-users] smbfax COMMAND FAILED resolution

[Donovan Craig <donovan@snapfrozen.com>]

Hi,

I also had the notorious command failed message and resolved it doing the following.

1. Ensure that user has shell privileges (eg make sure that the user sending the fax has /bin/bash in etc/passwd). Most Important !!

2. If your users have spaces in their full names (like most people do ;)), edit line 118 smbfax-html.pl to make it:

my @arguments = ('-f', "\"$identity\"", # note the additional quotes

3. Do the same for line 130 to make it:

push (@arguments, ('-y', \"$clocation\"))

4. re-compile smbfax-html

cc -o smbfax-html smbfax-html.c

BTW: Someone mentioned that this problem has to do with the perl script not being able to setuid. If you feel that this is the case, check the permissions of the dat files in the smbfax $TEMP dir..

Voila !

Regards,

Donovan
