hi, i am setting up a fax print server using efax/lpd, following the
instructions at
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/\
mini/other-formats/html_single/Fax-Server.html
however, i am having troubles with the permissions of the following
files or directories:
should be is, if it works
/dev/modem crw-rw---- root dialout crw-rw-rw- root dialout
/var/spool/fax/ drwxrwx--- root dialout drwxrwxrwx root dialout
i understand that on debian, usage of the modem is dependent on
dialout group membership, and i therefore added the user 'lp' to that
group. i restarted lpd, heck, i even rebooted to make sure that this
group membership was assigned correctly, but the printing to the fax
still doesn't work unless i set the permissions to the third column
above, which i don't want. all the printing, calling of the efax
binary, and whatever not is done as user 'lp', and all the temporary
and log files generated are owned by lp.lp. if lp is now also a member
if dialout, why does it not work???
