Ah. Now I get this in daemon.log
Feb  7 18:51:54 itbox HylaFAX[21482]: HylaFAX INET connection from localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]
Feb  7 18:51:54 itbox HylaFAX[21482]: command: USER <local username>
Feb  7 18:51:54 itbox HylaFAX[21482]: USER <local username>

/etc/hylafax
The debian init.d script handles the "twinning" like so:

# /etc/init.d/hylafax restart
Stopping HylaFAX: faxq hfaxd faxgetty.
+ /bin/cp -p "/etc/hylafax/hosts.hfaxd" "/var/spool/hylafax/etc/hosts.hfaxd"
Starting HylaFAX: faxq hfaxd faxgetty.

Which all seems fine.

# cat /var/spool/hylafax/etc/hosts.hfaxd
# hosts.hfaxd
# This file contains permissions and password for every user in
# the system.
#
# For more information on this biject, please see its man page
# and the commands faxadduser and faxdeluser.
localhost.localdomain

Putting localhost.localdomain in hosts.hfaxd did the trick.

Thanks for the help.

Cheers,
