The error "pam_authenticate failed in pamCheck with 0x7: Authentication 
failure" is fairly clear.  pam_authenticate (PAM function to 
authenticate the user/pass) is failing and returning 0x7 which, 
translated, means "Authentication failure".  And that's perhaps a fairly 
generic-sounding error-message to get from a "pam_authenticate" 
function, but it typically just means that your username or password are 
not matching up.  In any case, the authentication failure is a matter to 
resolve with your underlying PAM configuration or authentication mechanism.

As for the "corrupted double-linked list" message ... that indicates 
either a bug in HylaFAX code or in the PAM library... but it's probably 
benign, and will probably not be there when you resolve your PAM issue.

I've just run HylaFAX+ 5.1.2 hfaxd under valgrind and reproduced the 
pam_authenticate error (by typing in a bogus password), but I didn't see 
anything that would warn me of a corrupted pointer list.  So, you may 
want to try updating your PAM library.
