flexfax: permission: can't retrieve fax on ftp at port 4559

[Berndt Josef Wulf <wulf@ping.net.au>]

G'day,

I am running NetBSD-1.3 and HylaFAX-4.0pl2 and can sent and receive
fax from local and remote systems.

However, I can't retrieve the received fax "recvq/fax00001.tif" using
the ftp protocol. Looking the thru the mailing archive didn't provide 
me the solution and hence this email.

Whenever I try to retrieve the fax in quiestion I am prompted with the
following sytem message:
	
	ftp ftp://localhost:4559
	220 hotdog.quiktrak.com.au server (HylaFAX (tm) Version
	4.0pl2) ready.

	ftp> get fax00004.tif
	local: fax00004.tif remote: fax00004.tif
	200 PORT command successful.
	550 fax00004.tif: Operation not permitted.

I kept the /var/spool/fax/etc/hosts file simple for the purpose of
troubleshooting my problem.

	cat hosts

	127.0.0.1

which should give access to anyone on localhost and also verified user
fax=uucp in group dialer.

faxstat gives me the following reply

	hotdog# faxstat -vr

	226 Transfer complete.

Only after setting permission to 644 was the transfer succesful. 

Is there anything I have overlooked? I am sure that this is just a
configuration problem with hylafax.

Your help is very much appreciated

cheerio Berndt
