Re: [hylafax-users] Login failed: 550 Cannot set privileges

To run as a daemon, I use:
/usr/local/sbin/hfaxd -i 4559 

Use -i to run as a daemon instead of in inetd.  You need to specify
the port to run on, 4559 is the default.

If anyone has a better way of starting the hfaxd server, please tell
me; I got this from reading the man page and not the How To, so it
might not be the Official Best Way.
