I've installed hylafax-v3.0pl0. It works without any serious problems. Except for hylafax changes the permissions on /dev/cuaa1: crw-rw---- 1 uucp dialer 28, 128 Jan 27 16:03 cuaa0 crw------- 1 uucp dialer 28, 129 Jan 28 12:54 cuaa1 In order to dial out with kermit, ppp, seyon, after using 'sendfax' I have to 'su -' and re-chmod cuaa1 to give rw access back to dialer. The hylafax manual suggests using 'config', & 'make depend' to fix this; '..look at the DeviceMode configuration parameter in config(4F) to control the protection mode that HylaFAX sets for the device.' Does this mean I have to add a single_line value to my custom kernel config file that defines hylafax, and the permission modes I want to preserve? Or is there a separate hylafax_preserve_dialer_permissions config file that I have to create first? I've already tried changing most of the "chmod(device, 0600);" references in the hylafax source code to 0660,(& recompiling) but this has no effect. I've also written to the flexfax mailing list, but that seems to be a low volume list, I haven't heard anything yet. I'm at a temporary loss as just what to do next. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank You Barry Masterson jbarrm@panix.com >--->--->--->---> FreeBSD 2.1.0 <---<---<---<---<
