I installed the pkgadd as root after a fresh Solaris 2.6 install.  Not
sure either ...

Anyway, I chown'ed everything that was root:other to root:root ... here:

-rwsr-xr-x   1 root     root      505740 Dec  9  1996 /opt/local/fax/lib/hfaxd
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root      486212 Dec  9  1996 /opt/local/fax/lib/faxgetty
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root      384976 Dec  9  1996 /var/spool/fax/bin/faxq

uucp  4886     1  0 19:44:52 ?        0:00 /opt/local/fax/lib/faxgetty cua/a
uucp  4896     1  0 19:44:53 ?        0:00 /opt/local/fax/lib/hfaxd -i hylafax -o 4557 -s 444
uucp  4894     1  0 19:44:53 ?        0:00 /var/spool/fax/bin/faxq

(from /etc/passwd file - faxsetup did this for me)
uucp:x:5:5:uucp Admin:/usr/lib/uucp:

yup!

(from /etc/inittab)
fx:23:respawn:/opt/local/fax/lib/faxgetty   cua/a

I turned "off" the faxgetty, killed it, stopped hylafax via
/etc/init.d/hylafax:

(from /var/adm/messages)
Mar 24 19:41:43 rain FaxGetty[4098]: CAUGHT SIGNAL 15
Mar 24 19:44:53 rain HylaFAX[4896]: HylaFAX INET Protocol Server: restarted.

Mar 24 20:00:00 rain FaxQCleaner[4902]: The fax server must run with real uid root.

ugh!!!!  Could it have anything to do with Solaris 2.6 since the pkgadd
was made for 2.5?  That's the only thing I can think of ...

I really appreciate the help, thanks.
