I'm commenting on this here just in case it helps someone else out. Running Ubuntu 10.04, upgraded from 8.04 and initially hylafax was working great. Then I noticed the following symptoms appeared, probably after restarting hylafax:
+ Every time I start hylafax, a new mount point is created /etc/hylafax <-> /var/spool/hylafax/etc. IOW, it isn't unmounted when the service is stopped. + Something changed the permissions of /etc/hosts.hfaxd from uucp:uucp rw------- to root:root rw-r--r-- + Running faxstat or sendfax like I used to do without a password now results in password prompts, and trying all kinds of things in /etc/hosts.hfaxd didn't help. Turns out, the changed permissions were the culprit. As soon as I umounted all those extra mounts, changed the permissions back to uucp:uucp rw------, and restarted the service, I could once again interact with sendfax and faxstat without entering a password, because of my localhost entry in /etc/hosts.hfaxd. I'm also having the faxadduser problem, but have worked around it as I really don't need it in my configuration by editing /var/www/avantfax/include/config.php and changing the $FAXADDUSER cmd to 'faxadduser -f /tmp/bogus'. I need my users managed in the MySQL Avantfax database but I only need the localhost entry in /etc/hosts.hfaxd. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477478 Title: faxadduser doesn't write in hosts.hfaxd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hylafax/+bug/477478/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
