Help? I am trying to set up mgetty to receive a fax, convert it to tiff, and e-mail it out. Mgetty works fine, and I have written a script to handle creating the mime/e-mail stuffs. The core of it is, for each page of fax: g32pbm file.fax > file.pbm pnmtotiff file.pbm > file.tif Working as root, I tested it, works fine. I then attempted to receive a fax, and got the error message "pnmtotiff: out of memory allocating an array" I try doing it manually, as root, on the same file, with the same script: no error. I su to the fax account, and get the error. I make the script suid root, it still errors when run. I then tried doing a "limits -d 100m -s 30m -m 100m" in the shell as the fax user, and was able to manually do the commands. So I stuck that line in the shell script. no joy. So, anyone know what I need to do to fix this? Thanks, +C -- Thinking of purchasing RAM from the Chip Merchant?
