Re: [hylafax-users] smbfax - setuid error?

["Stuart Herd" <sherd@muscletech.com>]

my bad - i should have followed up to the list.

Turned out i was missing the perl Net::SMTP module, once that was installed
the smbfax program worked as it should with the c wrapper.

Thanks for your response.

great program too :-)

Are you running linux?  Is this new server running a different kernel than
the
existing one?

It looks to me like the kernel on this box is different from the other one
in
that the kernel does not allow the running of setuid scripts.  You are
probably
going to need to tweak your smbfax install a bit.  In the README supplied
with
smbfax, part 2 (installation), item B talks about using a wrapper binary
that
will probably solve your problem.

Let me know if you need more help...
