[hylafax-users] Receive as pdf attachment

[Jean-Michel POURE <jm.poure@freesurf.fr>]

Dear Friends,

I had the same problem of zero lenght PDF attachments. It looks like uuencode 
is not installed. On RedHat systems, you need the RPM package called 
"sharutils".

In the RPM spec file, I added these two lines:
requires:    ghostscript-fonts >= 5.5
Requires:    sharutils

I am adding a request on Bugzilla. If you answer this mail, please CC me as I 
do not subscribe the list.

Best regards,
Jean-Michel POURE

So, everything is OK with faxrcvd.

The path to gs is set in etc/setup.cache. But this could not be the 
problem when all works manually.

Were you logged in as root when doing it manually? Try as user uucp/fax.
May be there is a problem with execution rights.
