I haven't had a chance to play on OSX yet, but I believe that they don't use a password file (/etc/passwd) type setup, but their "lookup" daemon does it. Really, what the installation is trying to to is make sure a "uucp" user exists. You will have to create this the way Mac OSX creates all it's other accounts. faxsetup has a primitive way of looking for this user (grep from /etc/passwd) which fails on their OSX setup. You might have to disable some of the user checking in faxsetup. A patch would be lovely, and if it handles everything, probably integrated. a. -- Aidan Van Dyk aidan@xxxxxxxx Senior Software Developer +1 215 438-4638 x8103 iFAX Solutions, Inc. http://www.ifax.com/
