[hylafax-users] Problems sending from Win98/Win2K to SuSE-Linux-Hyla FAX

["DI H. Arnold" <harald.arnold@arnold.at>]

I have a "AVM Fritzcard PCI" with Linux SuSE V7.1.
I use c2faxrecv started in /etc/inittab to receive faxes
and forward them with /var/spool/fax/bin/faxrcvd per
email to Win98 or Win 2000.

In command line c2faxsend is working, but I have
problems sending faxes from Win98/Win2K via
"Respond"-pacakge (HylaFAX Howto 5.2 Respond,
printfax.pl V 1.5.0, ).

Respond is running on Win98, telnet <host> 5555
works quite fin. I added [fax] section in /etc/smb.conf
and inserted "/usr/bin/printfax.pl" with root.root and
executable for all.

I will append my configuration of printfax.pl

Q: samba [fax]: I defined "path=/var/spool/fax", but
I don't think that a normal linux-user has access.

Q: /usr/bin/printfax.pl will be called out of samba.
Therefor the use will be a normal user and will not
have access to "/var/spool/..." files in printfax.pl.
Maybe stiky bit should be set ?

Q: I use c2faxsend. Is the config file correct for
this "c2faxsend" environment. What is c2faxsend
doing ? a) Put files in /var/spool/fax/sendq and
faxrunq will do fax sending b) c2faxsend is the
process of sending directly to AVM-card.

Q: I will split incoming calls from fax, voice, data.
What should I do woth c2faxrecv (for mgetty there
are many examples, but not for c2faxrecv)

Q: When shall I use /var/spool/fax and when shall I
use directory /var/spool/lpd/faxspool. What is the
reason for two directories ?

Q: What is smbclient used for in printfax.pl ?

Configuration part of printfax.pl
======================

### printfax.pl version string
    $version = 'printfax.pl 1.5.0';

### The default port we'll connect to RESPOND
    $port = 5555;

### Use delay
# ARNOLD 20010422    $usedelay = 1;
    $usedelay = 0;

### Default delay for delayed faxes
    $defaultdelay = '18:00';

### The log file we'll write the accounting information to
### (It has to be writeable by the user samba is running as for 
faxes)
    $acct = '/var/spool/fax/printfax.log';

### Format of commandline
# ARNOLD 20010422    $cmdlinefmt='mgetty';
    $cmdlinefmt='hylafax';

### The faxspoolprogram
###   for mgetty+sendfax:
# ARNOLD 20010422    $faxspool = '/usr/bin/faxspool';
###   for hylafax:
    $faxspool = '/usr/bin/c2faxsend';

### Additional faxspool args (e.g. header, coverpage)
###   empty:
# ARNOLD 20010422    @faxspool_args = qw();
###   for mgetty+sendfax with a special header:
#    @faxspool_args = qw( -h 
/usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/faxheader.smb );
###   for hylafax with send email when job is done or requeued and 
use
###   a4 sized paper:
    @faxspool_args = qw(-D -R -s a4);

### The smbclient program, sender is the faxsystem.
### Set to "" if you don't want to use smbclient
# ARNOLD 20010422    $smbclient = '/usr/bin/smbclient -U FAX';
    $smbclient = "";

### The secure path for binaries searched
### (faxspool makes usage of the PATH environment!)
    $ENV{PATH}  = '/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin' .
                  ':/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin' .
                  ':/usr/X11R6/bin';

### Use smb hostname for logging, set to 0 for inet hostname
### (ip address will be logged in both cases)
# ARNOLD 20010422    $logsmbhostname = 1;
    $logsmbhostname = 0;

### use smbuser for returning mail, ignore what the user types in
### (smbuser will be allways used for logging)
    $usesmbuser = 0;

### Preprocess faxnumbers, disable it if you use faxspool aliases
    # this replaces a leading '+', "" for no replace
    $intl_with = "";
    # delete all non numbers
    $unillegal = 0;
    # delete all non numbers, if faxnum contains only numbers and 
these characters
    # "" for no delete
    $unillegalnumbers = "()/-";

### messages for smbclient
administrator\n";
### German:
    $msg_to = "an";
    $msg_ignored = "ignoriert";
    $msg_spooled = "gespoolt";
    $msg_failed = "fehlgeschlagen";
    $msg_norespond = "Respond laeuft nicht.\nBitte Respond starten 
und nochmal versuchen.\n";
    $msg_strangeerr = "Fehler im Faxserver.\nBitte den 
Administrator benachrichtigen.\n";

### allow file for faxnumbers
    $allowfile = 1;
    $filechar = '@';

### set $debug to 1 for debug messages and $nosendondebug to 1 if
### you don't want to spool files on debug
### debug messages go to syslog (or stderr, if called from 
commandline)
# ARNOLD 20010422    $debug = 0;
    $debug = 1;
# ARNOLD 20010422    $nosendondebug = 1;
    $nosendondebug = 0;

### NT Terminal server and Win2000 sends out bogus print requests 
with
### short files. Treat requests with files less than this size as 
bogus.
    $minfaxsize = "100";

### extra config info for NT Terminal server.
### If you don't have an NT terminal server you can safely ignore 
this
### section. Currently only one terminal server is supported.

    # IP address of the terminal server, leave empty if you have 
none
#    $termserver_ip = "192.168.101.171";
    $termserver_ip = "";

    # Array of user-port assignments
    # If a request comes from the terminal server from one of the
    # users in the array the assigned port will be used instead of 
the
    # default port to connect to Respond
    %respond_port = (
# Samples
#      "ARNOLD", "5556",
#      "Erika ARNOLD", "5557",
#      "and_I", "5558"
    );

###
### NOTHING else to configure
