[hylafax-devel] Re: problem to submit a fax request

[Steve Williams <steve@genie96.com>]

Hi,

I have taken a look, and I think it is a permissions problem on CREATION
of the seqf.

Production system...


total 1
-rw-------   1 uucp     60002          5 Mar 04 20:16 seqf


Newly created seqf in test environment:

-rw-rw----   1 uucp     60002        674 Mar 05 17:44 q1
-rw-------   1 uucp     uucp           1 Mar 05 17:38 seqf



So, I think the problem is with the GROUP ownership of the seqf ( gut 
feeling only )..

Just my $0.02 worth, I will investigate further, but am tracking down some
other problems right now...
