    yes thats it, thanks a lot
    the man page didn't help, it says 127.0.0.1 means 
    anyone on local host uses the default uid
    it doesn't work for me, but i copied /etc/passwd to
    /var/spool/fax/etc/hosts
    changed mode to 600 and everything works fine

Copying /etc/passwd to /var/spool/fax/etc/hosts is definitely
the wrong way to fix this problem. There was a long discussion
in the mailing list about the problem with the default GID
(actually defaults to 60002, and to 60000 for SCO and HP/UX);
you may change the default for your system during ./configure run.

For more details read the HTML documentation (e.g. the file
html/v4.0beta022.html for the value CONFIG_MAXGID).

Copying files around without real knowledge what they mean is
really dangerous.
