I'm running Gentoo Linux. # uname -a
Linux 2.6.25-gentoo-r7 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Oct 5 01:51:24 PDT 2008 x86_64 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X3320 @ 2.50GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux /tmp is writable by everyone ... # ls -ld /tmp drwxrwxrwt 4 root root 4096 Dec 9 08:28 /tmp ideas? also, I assume the spool directory is just where it's spooling the file temporarily while the fax is coming in, but is there a variable I can set to tell it where to put the file after the fax has been received? it looks like the time I ran FS as root and received a fax successfully, the tiff file ended up in /root ?
