First let me give the answer to a frequently asked question :
HylaFAX currently doesn't support the sending of faxes via ISDN !
If you have problems in conjunction with SuSEFax/HylaFAX, please enter the command faxstat -srv
at the command line. This way you will get a detailed answer to the question, if HylaFAX was configured
correctly and if all components were started.
The command ps -ax |grep fax
should at least show the following processes :
/sbin/init.d/hylafax
).
However a necessary precondition for this is, that the variable START_HYLAFAX
in /etc/rc.config
is set to yes
!
Please also note, that the entry for faxgetty must be activated in
/etc/inittab
, if you want to receive faxes. If you used faxsetup
to configure another device for the modem than /dev/modem
(e.g. /dev/ttyS1
),
then modem
must be replaced by ttyS1
in the same line !
faxstat -srv
e.g. reports :
Trying localhost (127.0.0.1) at port 4559 .... Can not reach server at host " localhost " , port 4559
/usr/doc/packages/hylafax/README.SuSE
/usr/doc/packages/hylafax/html/*
/usr/doc/packages/susefax/*
/var/spool/fax/etc/hosts
must have the following
permissions and ownerships :
-rw------- 1 uucp uucp 36 Jul 16 15:06 /var/spool/fax/etc/hostsThis file is neither comparable with
/etc/hosts
nor with /etc/passwd
.
You can find further information about the syntax of this file in the corresponding man page (man 5f hosts
).
mgetty
and faxgetty
at the same time.
Please check, that there is a comment-sign in /etc/inittab
either in front of the line with
mgetty
or the one with faxgetty
.
faxsetup
in the beginning of the configuration :
[...] There is no entry for the hylafax service in /etc/inetd.conf. The HylaFAX client-server protocol process can be setup to run standalone or started by the inetd program. A standalone setup is preferred for performance reasons, especially if hfaxd is to support multiple protocols (e.g. SNPP); however it may require manual setup if your operating system does not have a System-V style init program. Should an entry be added to /etc/inetd.conf [no]? [...]You must answer 'no' to this question ! If you have nethertheless answered with 'yes', then remove the entry
hylafax stream tcp nowait fax /usr/lib/fax/hfaxd hfaxd -Ifrom
/etc/inetd.conf
!If SuSEFax or faxstat report something like
Login failed: 550 Cannot set privileges.then it is likely that the above mentioned entry can be found in
inetd.conf
.
/var/log/messages
or in a mail to root (when the reception of a fax failed) the following message occurs :
Sep 13 11:25:30.62: [17562]: RECV FAX: Permission denied (unacceptable client TSI)Remove the following entry from the configuration file specific to your modem (/var/spool/fax/etc/config.devicename):
QualifyTSI: etc/tsiYou might also create and configure this file. Please read the man page (
man tsi
)
for further information.
/usr/lib/fax/hfaxd.conf
, /var/spool/fax/etc/config
and
/var/spool/fax/etc/config.devicename
. This way you get more debugging information
in /var/log/messages
. If these cannot be understood, you can send them (e.g. via Cut&Paste)
to the S.u.S.E. support.
