Hi,

You have to create a log file for hylafax,

here's how;

1. Login as root on the e-smith server
2. change to the /var/spool/fax/etc directory (cd /var/spool/fax/etc)
3. Type the following pico xferfaxlog
4. Just put a full stop in the file
5. Press ctrl + x
6. Press Y
7. press enter

Done!!!

Hope this helps,
Rob.

Actually, the log file in question resides in /var/spool/hylafax/etc, so I guess the question becomes "how do you modify the log rotation cron job to look in the right location?"

My short term solution has beeen to run the following command...

ln -s /var/spool/hylafax /var/spool/fax

Probably a cleaner solution...
