Re: [hylafax-users] faxcron problems?

a bit late to the discussion here, but I solved my identical problem by changing the ownership of etc/xferfaxlog to
fax:uucp  (the fax user and group, in my case).  

my fresh install of hylafax-4.1.2 from source (replacing a cranky debian 2.2.r3 binary install) on slackware 8 running
kernel 2.4.5 had the ownership:group of the file etc/xferfaxlog set to root:root.  I left the permissions unchanged at
0644

I also created the etc/lastrun file (when I noticed that it was missing, even after repeatedly running faxcron) and set
its ownership to root:root and permissions to 0644.

After these two steps, the jobs began appearing in etc/xferfaxlog and faxcron started reporting the results.

I believe there is something amiss with the install script.

Cheers!
