but I can't help but wondering if something is checking ownership expecting to find the files owned by the 'fax' user and then not executing the faxrcvd or notify commands as a result.
It's not just ownership of the executables, but also the files in /var/spool/hylafax/recvq, /var/spool/hylafax/doneq, .... It may present a read permission problem if owned by uucp:uucp, especially where ../hylafax/etc/config.ttyS1 has "RecvFileMode: 0640" or 0600.
Again, just food for thought... I'll try and learn more about what user hylafx is running under for the various tasks. Right now, I just don't know.
