Re: MacOS X Server 10.4.9 broke fax receiving?



Hello List!

Just adding to my own Email, maybe it is helpful for someone to solve the problem.

Hello!

Today I had a stupid idea, i just thought that 10.4.9 does nothing harmfull on the clients so it is time to install it on the server.

Everything works fine except network-fax is broken now! I tried to install the combo-update but this does not solve it.

I use an Apple USB-Modem and I always had to set "Shared Yes" in / etc/cups/printers.conf under "<Printer External_Modem>" and restart PrintingServices via "sudo SystemStarter restart PrintingServices" to get a network fax - this was no problem as the server reboots for updates only. If you restart PrintingServices via ServerAdmin or reboot the whole server the file /etc/cups/ printers.conf is rewritten setting "Shared" back to "No".
And faxing from the clients worked reliable (99%).


But since the update to 10.4.9 my server refused to answer calls. All processes that are needed are started, but strange enough this works on a 10.4.9 client but not on server (Xserve).

The process that should answer fax calls is running and the arguments are the same on the client as on the server:



The problem with the resharing of the fax is solved, but I still can not receive faxes at the server. I removed the fax as root, configured it again, but it stays the same - it refuses to automatically answer fax calls. But what I have found out - the system knows that some fax is calling, because when I pull down the fax-menu i can receive the fax manually. If no fax is calling the menu-entry for manually receiving is gone. So looks to me that the system ignores the settings for automatic fax receiving.
