Accessing received faxes



Hello,

I'm currently running faxgetty on a RH5.1 box.  When faxes are recieved,
they are stored in /recvd with owner:group of uucp:wheel so only root can
access the fax files.  How do I get faxgetty to save the faxes with
different owner:group?

I understand there are many using web servers to provide access to their
received faxes.  I've set up Apache web server so that users
can see the list of faxes in /recvd, but we get "forbidden messages" when
trying to access a faxfile (presumably from the above owner:group
situation). How do I get around this?

And is it really necessary to run a cgi script just to access
faxfiles from a web browser?  Can't one just allow users to get those
files as they would via ftp through the browser?

Thanks,
