Re: [hylafax-users] Caldera faxsetup problem with useradd

[Lee Howard <faxguy@deanox.com>]

Simply omitting the -o option in the useradd line isn't enough, it results in:

===================
You do not appear to have a "fax" user in the password file.
HylaFAX needs this to work properly, add it [yes]?

There was a problem adding user "fax" to /etc/passwd;
the command failed with:

"user id 10 (uucp) already exists"

HylaFAX will not work until you have corrected this problem.
===================

Tim Rice had a better idea of writing the "fax" user directly rather than
through useradd.  That's functional fix.  See my reply to him on -users.

Thanks.

Lee.
