Hello, I downloaded and rebuild sms_client-2.0.8y-7.src.rpm. Now I want to use it and I have two problems: - As a normal user, I cannot send a message. The computer says: [ted@lorient scripts]$ sms_client xxxxxx 'test' ERROR: Opening logfile: /var/log/smslog I suppose it is a problem with the rights of the file smslog -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 280 Aug 28 15:50 smslog - As root, I cannot send a SMS either: [root@lorient log]# sms_client xxxxxx 'test' ERROR: Parsing file '/etc/sms/services/minicall' ERROR: Unrecoverable Failure Parsing file '/etc/sms/services/minicall' ERROR: Driver Initialization Failed Total Elapsed Time: 0 Seconds There is no /etc/sms/services/minicall but there is a /var/spool/sms/services/minicall (empty directory BTW). I think there is a configuration problem somewhere but I did not find where the location of the directory minicall was specified Best regards Daniel
sms_client is gone in 7.2, so i close it.
But 7.2 is not out yet and I am using 7.1 I would have appreciated some help Daniel
I have done a previous sms_client installation from tar file, and may be able to help. I'm trying to install the rpm too. /etc/sms/services should be a directory not a file. This looks like a bug in the RH packaging (tar -> rpm). The /etc/sms/services file should really be /etc/sms/services/vstream. The issues for normal users are standard for sms_client. You get problems like cant open log file, lock file, modem device. On my system I get around this by making the sms_client binary set-gid uucp, and make /var/log/smslog writable by group uucp.
