Re: flexfax: whfc client problem

[vijay@insyst.com.au]

Hi Keith,

The user is defined in the hosts file. I can telnet the hylafax 
server with the user name defined in hosts file 
(/var/spool/fax/etc/hosts) and login with the password. But  when I 
run WHFC I get the same error as mentioned before. I tried putting 
this  ^.*@.*.*.*:::$ in hosts file and get the error " cannot connect 
switching to off line mode" instead of "CANNOT BUILD DATA CONNECTION: 
CONNECTION REFUSED" . Any suggestions?

Thanks

Vijay

There is a separate hosts file under the hylafax tree (eg.
/var/spool/fax/etc/hosts) try man 5 hosts
