I have here HylaFAX up and running. After I receive a fax a mail is send with a link to (ftp://tamboti:4559/recvq/fax00001.tif) the actuall fax.

The fax itself has got the rights 640 uucp.uucp and I can manually view the faxes. But when I use the ftp link than I get the answer that the file can't be opend - when I change the rights to 644 uucp.uucp everything works.

But I don't want to set the viewing right for everybody - what do the expert say? What Do I need to change? It does not make a difference when I used "users" as the group, and my test user is in the group uucp.

There is a file in /var/spool/fax/bin called FaxDispatch. I modified this so it just contains the line: SENDTO=user where user is a local username. Now the actual fax is emailed to the user as a postscript attachment. That user can then forward to any other appropriate recipient. Maybe this is useful for you - for me, it's a lot better than getting a notification, and then trying to work out how to get at the fax with ftp (which I could never get to work anyway!) Brgds, Tony
