[hylafax-users] Hylafax server <--> client interactions with Windows clients

[Mark Ash <ash@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I'm having a wierd problem.  I'm trying a couple of different windows clients 
that use redmon to redirect through an Apple laserjet PS printer driver to 
the Hylafax server on port 4559.  I've tried the 4.3 rpm for SuSE 10 as well 
as building 4.2.5 from source and get the same results no matter what.

The windows clients I've tried are Winprint Hylafax and FrogMail Full.

The client connects to the server, the message "Jun 29 16:39:58 htplas55 
HylaFAX[6595]: Filesystem has SysV-style file creation semantics." appears in 
the log.  A file called doc1.ps or doc2.ps, etc... is created 
in /var/spool/hylafax/tmp and is zero bytes in length, and a FIFO is created 
under /var/spool/hylafax/client.  that's it.  Nothing else ever happens.  
after the timeout value (300 seconds?), the print job just goes away.  The 
doc file in tmp/ and the FIFO in client/ remain.  Nothing is put in log/.   A 
wierdism is that the doc1.ps has the correct uid but has a gid of 60002; 
which doesn't exist on this system.

All other aspects of this program appear to be ok.  it init's the modem just 
fine although I've not tested that portion yet.  I can telnet to 4559, enter 
a user and issue a stat and everything looks fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Here are my configs/notes/logs/etc.. on it: Hylafax v2.4.5 built from source 
on Suse 10.
