Re: [hylafax-users] Location of Hylafax-config file

[John Warren <jwarren@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mine must just have the changes to the default values so anything I want to change I just add.

FYI here is the current contents of my config file.

LogFacility:            daemon

CountryCode: 1

AreaCode: 310

LongDistancePrefix: 1

InternationalPrefix: 011

DialStringRules: etc/dialrules

ServerTracing: 0xFFF

MaxRecvPages: 100

I'll add the following so they point to my modified scripts and I can restore the original scripts back to the bin directory.

NotifyCmd: etc/my.notify

FaxRcvdCmd: etc/my.faxrcvd

One thing I want to make sure of. For parameters marked with a ², does the modem programs read those parameters from config file then from config.ttySxx file and then use the last entries read or do those entries really need to be in both files. I would hope that they read both as it would make setting default values easier than changing every modem config file.

If I'm reading the documentation correctly the hylafax-configuration is call "config" and is located in the "etc" directory. When I look at that file there are only a few lines in it.

The faxq configuration file is usually /var/spool/hylafax/etc/config.  Each modem has a config file, too, in /var/spool/hylafax/etc/config.<devid>.  hfaxd also has a configuration file in hfaxd.conf (among others).

Questions:

Am I looking at the correct file? 

If yes, might I assume the file only contains changes to the default values?

Not necessarily.  The values given may also be defaults themselves... so it may be safe to just remove the line... or it may not... it just depends.  Consult the 'hylafax-config' man page:
