[hylafax-users] Sendfax on localhost doesn't, WHFC on clients does.



...send a fax that is.  Some help troubleshooting this please.  Any clues to how to figure out what's (not) happening
would be greatly appreciated.

Situation: 

newly-compiled hylafax-4.1.2 on slackware 8 (kernel 2.4.5).  Replaces long standing earlier versions of both, due to
hardware failures in the server.

Receiving on ttyS0 and ttyS1 (ModemGroup set as "inbound") works fine.

WHFC on the clients works to send faxes on ttyS4 (ModemGroup set as "any"), but if I try to use sendfax (run from the
fax host as an ordinary user or as root) the job just sits in the queue and is never processed (until the kill time
passes).  This occurs no matter which device I try to use (ttyS0, ttyS1, ttyS4). Sendfax used to work with the older
versions.

using faxalter to increase the priority or force the send has no effect.

There is one ordinary user and root with valid login shells on this box (all it does is hylafax, samba (as NT domain
member server), apache.  The fax fails to go for both of them.


=============================================================================
examples of how sendfax was invoked:
sendfax -d 555-1212 ~/test.ps
sendfax -n -d 555-1212 ~/test.ps
sendfax -R -f he.is@bigfoot.com -d 5551212 ~/test.ps
sendfax -R -v -v -f he.is@bigfoot.com -d 5551212 ~/test.ps
sendfax -h ttyS4@localhost -n -R -v -v -f he.is@bigfoot.com -d 5551212 ~/test.ps
