Description Joseph 2012-04-26 23:01:40 UTC

I just installed hylafaxplus and I can connect to fax server on the
same machine as hylafaxplus is running but when I try to connect from
another machine on the same network I get an error: Connection refused

In "hosts.hfaxd" I have:
^fd@:::ZGM....
^fax@:::CL6....
localhost
127.0.0.1
10.10.0.*
10.0.0.*
192.168.*

The hylafaxplus is on 10.0.0.161 and I'm trying to connect to it from 10.0.0.107

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Joseph 2012-04-27 04:24:51 UTC

It appears that "hfaxd" is not configured to listen to correct port.

According to: lsof | grep hfaxd
"hfaxd" is listening on:

hfaxd      4988       uucp    3u     IPv4     916017      0t0        TCP localhost.localdomain:hylafax (LISTEN)

and it should be: "*:hylafax"
hfaxd      3969       uucp    4u     IPv4               5939       0t0        TCP *:hylafax (LISTEN)

file: /usr/lib/fax/hfaxd.conf
does not contain any parameters how to define port for hfaxd

How do I correct it?

Comment 2 Joseph 2012-04-27 14:02:11 UTC

Lee Howard is pointing me to:
http://hylafax.sourceforge.net/man/hfaxd.php

hfaxd -f -l and -i options

but I can not find any referece to these options in:
/usr/lib/fax/hfaxd.conf

besides this file is identical like the one old hylafax had so it must be something else or specific to Gentoo setup.

Comment 3 Joseph 2012-05-01 22:55:07 UTC

In:
/etc/conf.d/hylafaxplus

# Address used by hfaxd as binding address.
faxbind="127.0.0.1"

I think it should be:
faxbind="*"

The strange part is the old hylafax setting had: faxbind="127.0.0.1"
and everything was working.
