[hylafax-users] Does hylafax work on Fedora Core 2?

[Gerry Doris <gdoris@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've spent all day trying to figure out how to log into hylafax that's 
running on Fedora Core 2.  Hylafax can receive faxes just fine and sends 
them to the FaxMaster.

I can telnet to localhost port 4559 and run the stat command.  However, I
can't login using the user command.  I'm always asked for a password and 
then the login fails.  

It actually says user gerry logged in and then connection closed by
foreign host.

I've run the faxadduser command to add user gerry.  I can delete user
gerry using faxdeluser.  I have hosts.hfaxd owned by uucp.uucp and with
permissions 600.  hosts.faxd contains just one line containing gerry.  
I'm trying to telnet from the same server that's running hylafax.

I tried faxadduser -a "password" gerry where password is root's password.  
The hosts.hfaxd file contained one line with gerry:::"encrypted stuff" 
where I assume the encrypted stuff is the encrypted password.  However, I 
still can't login!

I've even uninstalled hylafax and re-installed it again.  Still no go!  
I'm using the rpm post on the hylafax website for Fedora.

I'm starting to wonder if hylafax actually runs properly on Fedora Core 
2???
