I'm having difficulties getting faxanswer to run. RingsBeforeAnswer
is set to 0 in my config file, and the hosts file has just the
default entries. I don't think I did anything out of the ordinary
during the installation procedure.
Whenever I try to run faxanswer, I get the following message
FIFO: open: Permission denied
This is regardless of the user (the same message occurs if I run as
root or as fax).
I stopped and restarted faxd so it would recreate the FIFOs, and
they are created with the following permissions:
# ls -l FIFO*
prw------- 1 uucp uucp 0 Oct 3 23:51 FIFO
prw------- 1 uucp staff 0 Oct 3 23:51 FIFO.cua_a
I found the following description in troubleshooting.html, but this
indicates that the default setup should be correct:
Processes that want to send faxq information about new modems
must be able to access the file; this means the protection on
the file must be such that clients can open it for writing (the
default setup should make this happen).
Did I somehow change the default configuration, or is there some
other parameter that I'm not aware of to cause the FIFOs to have
different protection? What *should* the default protection be for
the FIFOs?
faxanswer(1M) belongs to administration commands (1M) and must
be run by root or the faxuser "fax";
