    I am having an old passwd problem with hylafaxv4.0p1. I was able to configure,
    compile and install hylafax on my Sparc workstation running Solaris2.5 with
    NIS+. I didn't touch the spool/etc/hosts file, so it should work for anybody 
    on the local machine without passwd.
    
    But when I try to send a fax, it prompted me for passwd. It didn't get me 
    through through no matter what I feed it with (including root passwd). 
    Then I tried faxstat and got the same  result. To make it more strange, 
    I tried "telnet localhost hylafax" with the "user" command, it let me in.
    
    I looked over the mailing-list archives. This question was asked in several 
    places but no answer was there. I am wondering why it is not in the FAQ?

    I am so hopeless about this passwd thing, please help.

Try running "faxstat -v" and compare it with the results of
your "telnet localhost hylafax" session.
