What in the *HECK*? How did you generate this error, and where did this
"/etc/hylafax/hosts" filename come from? The hosts file for HylaFAX
should be in $SPOOLDIR/etc/hosts, or if you have installed my hosts.fax
patch, in $SPOOLDIR/etc/hosts.fax.

It should be user uucp, group uucp, permissions 0600. This prevents
non-users from reading the encrypted passwords or permissions of the
file.
