The last Hylafax rpms I built were for RedHat AS 2.1 and cAos (but it was version 4.1.8), however, you should be able to rebuild the 4.2.0 src.rpm on FC2 as well.

I have done the following so many times that my typing fingers are numb!!!

- removed all rpm versions of Hylafax
- compiled 4.1.8 and it works fine
- compiled 4.2.0 with/without pam support.  Actually, I've done this so 
many times that I have two separate directories...one with and one without 
pam support.  I just switch between directories and run make install.
- only the version without pam support will work.  This is using exactly 
the same hosts.hfaxd file

With pam support enabled Hylafax receives faxes and sends emails out etc.  
In other words, it works fine with the exception that I cannot logon to 
the server to send faxes.  Any attempt to logon results in the connection 
being immediately broken and a signal 11 generated.

Without pam support enabled there are no problems at all.  As I said, I'm 
using the same hosts.hfaxd file for both.

My /etc/pam.d/other file is exactly the same as the one you posted.  I've 
tried changing the lines to produce warning messages in the logs when I 
login but that doesn't work at all.  It seems that pam is not talking to 
hfaxd at all.

This is on Fedora Core 2.
