Hi all folks,
"Send a fax" works fine as ROOT ONLY. kprintfax works both on "Cups and
LPRng". An OpenOffice document can be faxed direct with the "Print"
command and the recipient receives a high quality fax.
But "Send a fax" can't work as USER. With the same steps used as ROOT
the OpenOffice document can't be faxed. During faxing a temporary text
lock file is automatically created to lock /dev/modem
Log file:
....
....
efax: 32:49 created text lock file /var/lock/LCK..modem
efax: 32:49 opened /dev/modem
(hanging here)
The modem is locked here
$ cd /var/lock/
$ ls -al
total 20
drwxrwxrwx 4 root lock 4096 May 24 18:23 .
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 May 5 01:51 ..
-r--r--r-- 1 satimis satimis 11 May 24 18:23 LCK..modem
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 24 17:16 subsys
drwxr-xr-x 2 uucp uucp 4096 Jul 20 2002 uucp
$ cat LCK..modem
3930
# ls -l /dev/modem
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root tty 11 Apr 22 12:24 /dev/modem -> /dev/ttyLT0
# ls -l /dev/ttyLT0
crwxrwxrwx 1 root uucp 62, 64 May 23 10:17 /dev/ttyLT0
I have tried sometimes without a resolution.
Any folk on the list can shed me some light. Thanks in advance.
B.Regards
Stephen Liu
