FAXSETUP(8C)					     FAXSETUP(8C)

NAME
       faxsetup - setup a machine for use with HylaFAX

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/contrib/bin/faxsetup [ -client ] [ -server ] [ -with-
       VAR[=value] ]

DESCRIPTION
       faxsetup is an interactive shell script that does the nec-
       essary  setup work to configure a client or server machine
       for the HylaFAX software.  faxsetup must be run	on  every
       HylaFAX	server	machine	 before	 the  software will func-
       tion-if a HylaFAX server	 program  or  script  is  invoked
       before faxsetup is run, the command will abort with a mes-
       sage that says to run faxsetup.	faxsetup  may  optionally
       be  run on a HylaFAX client machine to verify the configu-
       ration of the software.

       By default faxsetup checks a machine for	 use  both  as	a
       HylaFAX	 client	  and	server.	  Client-specific  checks
       include:

       o  the installation of client programs and data,

       o  the installation of the Adobe Font Metric (AFM)  infor-
	  mation  files	 used by the HylaFAX text formatting sup-
	  port.

       Server-specific checks include:

       o  the installation of server programs and data,

       o  the existence of the UUCP lock file directory,

       o  the installation of the TIFF software tools,

       o  the configuration of the  getty  programs  invoked  for
	  data and voice calls,

       o  the  pathnames  for  various	system	programs  used by
	  server shell scripts,

       o  proper support for FIFO special files,

       o  proper installation of a POSTSCRIPT RIP,

       o  definition of a ``fax'' user,

       o  definitions for the ``hylafax'' and ``snpp'' services,

       o  startup of the HylaFAX server processes:  faxq(8C)  and
	  hfaxd(8C),

       o  definition  of a ``FaxMaster'' mail alias for reporting

	  server problems.

       For server machines faxsetup also creates two  files  that
       are  required  by  the  HylaFAX command scripts.	 One file
       contains master configuration  parameters  and  the  other
       contains	 various definitions used by scripts such as fax-
       addmodem(8C) that communicate with modems.

OPTIONS
       -client	 Do client-specific consistency checks.

       -server	 Do server-specific consistency checks.

       -with-VAR[=value]
		 Override the default definition for the configu-
		 ration	 parameter named VAR; optionally specify-
		 ing a new value (if no value is  specified  then
		 ``yes''  is  used).   This  option is especially
		 useful to override the default settings for  the
		 POSTSCRIPT  interpreter  package  to  use  (e.g.
		 ``-with-PS=dps''),   the   spooling	directory
		 (``-with-DIR_SPOOL=/mumble''),	  the	directory
		 where the tool	 applications  of  TIFF	 software
		 distribution	 are	located	   (``-with-TIFF-
		 BIN=/usr/freeware''), etc.  A complete	 list  of
		 the  possible parameters can be found by looking
		 at the contents of the	 faxsetup  shell  script;
		 many  of these configuration parameters are also
		 described in the HTML documentation

       -help	 Print a help message and terminate.

       -quiet	 Do not print verbose messages to the terminal.

       -verbose	 Print	informative  messages  to  the	 terminal
		 (default).

BUGS
       faxsetup	 does not query a modem to find out its capabili-
       ties when invoking the faxmodem program to setup a  server
       in  a  send-only configuration; it may be necessary to run
       faxmodem manually.

FILES
       /var/spool/fax/etc/setup.cache	 master configuration parameters
       /var/spool/fax/etc/setup.modem	 modem-related configuration support

       Consult hylafax-server(5F) for a	 complete  discussion  of
       the structure and content of the spooling area.
