Description of Problem: There two errors in the contributed sample script /usr/doc/mgetty- 1.1.25/samples/new_fax.tiff. The line FAX=`echo $1|sed 's/...$//'` should have the $1 changed to $4. (This is supposed to be the filename without the page number: .01, .02 ....) The line metasend -b -F "Fax Getty <root>" -f /tmp/$FAX_BASENAME.tiff \ -m image/tiff -s "fax from $SENDER" -S 4000000 -t $MAILTO has a space after the backslash that shouln't be there. (The backslash does not work as supposed unless it is the very last character before the newline.) Also, if the MAILTO="Faxverteiler <fax>" could be replaced with MAILTO="faxadmin" it will work right away for all that sets up /etc/aliases as suggested in the docs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mgetty-1.1.25-4.6.i386.rpm in RH6.2 updates (also mgetty-1.1.21-4.i386.rpm in original RH6.2)
Sorry for the long delay in processing this bug report. It got mislaid somehow. This is now fixed in Rawhide (mgetty-1.1.33-4_FC5).
