hylafax for debian is already compiled using PAM support. In order to
enable it create a file called /etc/pam.d/hylafax with these three lines:
@include common-auth
@include common-account
@include common-session

At this point every access to hylafax will require user/password. Access
from external machines may use local users, but also all local accesses
will *require* a password, i.e., if you type 'faxstat -s' you will be
prompted for password authentication.

Bye,
Giuseppe
