Titolo: Hylafax qualcuno ha tempo??

Ciao a tutti, premettendo che ho dato uno sguardo ai vecchi post che ho
trovato su google,,,devo dire che non sono riuscito cmq nel mio intento.
Inutile dire che sono un "pivello" di linux, quindi non mi bastonate se le
cose che per voi sono "elementari" (come lanciare un sorgiente rpm
eccc....io ci devo pensare :) ),,, dicevo, sono un "pivello" che deve
installare un server fax (tutti mi hanno consigliato Hylafax) su Suse 7.0,
senza capirci gran che di linux,,,essendo la prima volta che lo installo
come SO. Ora,,ho installato la suse, sono riuscito a configurare la rete, a
vedere e a farmi vedere dai client Win che sono in rete (collegati ad un
server Nt). eccc. Ora, ho dato un'occhio ad appunti di inf.libera, ma di
Hylafax neanche l'ombra ovviamente,,ho guardato i vecchi post e di roba ce
n'e' ma non fa al caso mio...Io cerco qualcuno che abbia un po di tempo e
che gentilmente mi sappia guidare nell'installazione di sto benedetto
server fax, questo xke leggendo i post di 20 persone differenti faccio piu'
casino che altro. 
Voi direte,,troppo comodo caro..prima impara un po'
meglio linux, e poi installa il server fax...ed avete semplicemente
ragione! Solo che il server fax non lo installo per "piacere personale"
purtroppo, ma per esigenze aziendali.....č un compito che mi č stato dato
che da Zetafax x win. č slittato su linux....e ho il fiato del titolare sul
collo....mi date una mano?
grazie grazie grazie chiunque tu sarai 
ciao
ale 
se potete rispondete anche in e-mail ---pi...@libero.it---

HylaFAX: Troubleshooting

Support knowledgebase (choeger_hylafax-problems)
This article is for people having trouble using the fax server HylaFAX(tm).
Since the fax server is a very complex piece of software, it is recommended
to read the documentation (see e.g. 
/usr/doc/packages/hylafax/html/index.html
or HylaFAX homepage) first !
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 :
faxq
hfaxd
The first one represents the 'queuing agent', the latter is the 'protocol 
server'.
It is responsible for the communication of clients with the server. Both 
get started
automatically in the runlevels 2 and 3 (via /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 !
Symptoms for a misconfiguration :
SuSEFax asks for a password
SuSEFax shows an errormessage like
...empty Reply String...
...connection refused...
faxstat -srv e.g. reports :
Trying localhost  (127.0.0.1) at port 4559 ....
Can not reach server at host  " localhost " , port  4559
Solution:
Read /usr/doc/packages/hylafax/README.SuSE
and also /usr/doc/packages/hylafax/html/*
Read /usr/doc/packages/susefax/*
The file /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/hosts
This 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).
It is not possible to start 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.
The following question is asked by 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 -I
from /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.
You send a fax, the modem dials and a connection to the opposite side
gets established. However short time thereafter the connection gets
terminated. The same phenomenon occurs when receiving faxes. In 
/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/tsi
You might also create and configure this file. Please read the man page 
(man tsi)
for further information.
Increase the tracing value (e.g. to 527) in the files
/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.
... and of course please check all hints above.
