I don't THINK so...I'm running basically a default Ubuntu Karmic at the 
moment.  Should I look somewhere to verify besides checking what I have 
installed?  All I find is an SELinux library - all the support files are 
not installed.

That was it!  I've made some changes, and things are working much better 
- please tell me if I'm actually making them worse!

My default Hylafax user is uucp, and default home for uucp is 
/var/spool/uucp.  I changed the home to /var/spool/hylafax - on both 
servers.  Then setup an ssh key-pair - and it works!

This is my faxrcvd script -
#!/bin/sh
REMOTE_SERVER="bubba.amfeslan.local"
REMOTE_RECVQ="bubba.amfeslan.local:/var/spool/hylafax/recvq"
REMOTE_HYLAFAX="/var/spool/hylafax"
REMOTE_FAXRCVD="bin/faxrcvd.php"
SCP=/usr/bin/scp
SSH=/usr/bin/ssh

${SCP} $1 ${REMOTE_RECVQ}
${SSH} ${REMOTE_SERVER} "cd ${REMOTE_HYLAFAX} ; ${REMOTE_FAXRCVD} $@"
