In your directory /etc/mgetty+sendfax/
you can find these specific
mgetty+sendfax configuration files. Since sendfaKs currently does not support
fax-receiving, only the files faxrunq.config
and faxheader
need to be configured by the user.
faxrunq.config
contains some options for the daemon faxrunqd
, that control its
behavior during all its operations. Each option has an extensive explanation,
so there is no need to describe it here. Just check this file an make your
modifications.faxheader
consists of only one line, which forms the headline
of every fax. You have to modify your name and your faxnumber in it. This line
will be the default faxheader, as long as you wish to use it in that way.
Normally you only need to insert a name and your faxnumber in the predefined
sections of the line. All other parts (@..@
) are variables to the
programm faxspool and will be filled in the moment you spool your fax. Here is
an example for a default faxheader:FAX FROM: your_name your_faxnumber TO: @T@ PAGE: @P@ OF @M@
fax.allow
contains the names of the users, who are
allowed to use the faxspool program. This file normally does not exist in the
given directory /etc/mgetty+sendfax/
. You will have to create it
yourself. Each line in this file consists of only one username, eg.:
#any comment is proceeded by a # root michael guest paulIf faxspool can not find this file, you will get an error-message in the Message window. In that case only
root
is allowed to use faxspool.It is recommended, to auto-start faxrunqd
every time you
boot your machine. In my system I made an entry in the file
/sbin/init.d/boot.local
like this:
/usr/sbin/faxrunqd &
Don't forget the & because faxrunq
does not put itself in the
backround.
