NAME
       faxsetup - setup a machine for use with HylaFAX

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

DESCRIPTION
       faxsetup	 is  an interactive shell script that does the necessary setup
       work to configure a client or server machine for the HylaFAX  software.
       faxsetup	 must  be run on every HylaFAX server machine before the soft‐
       ware will function-if a HylaFAX server program  or  script  is  invoked
       before faxsetup is run, the command will abort with a message that says
       to run faxsetup.	 faxsetup may optionally be run on  a  HylaFAX	client
       machine to verify the configuration of the software.

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

       ·  the installation of client programs and data,

       ·  the installation of the Adobe Font Metric  (AFM)  information	 files
	  used by the HylaFAX text formatting support.

       Server-specific checks include:

       ·  the installation of server programs and data,

       ·  the existence of the UUCP lock file directory,

       ·  the installation of the TIFF software tools,

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

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

       ·  proper support for FIFO special files,

       ·  proper installation of a POSTSCRIPT RIP,

       ·  definition of a ``fax'' user,

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

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

       ·  definition  of a ``FaxMaster'' mail alias for reporting server prob‐
	  lems.

       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 faxaddmodem(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 configuration parame‐
		 ter named VAR; optionally specifying a new value (if no value
		 is  specified	then  ``yes''  is used).  This option is espe‐
		 cially useful to override the default settings for the	 POST‐
		 SCRIPT	 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 dis‐
		 tribution are located (``-with-TIFFBIN=/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
		 online 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  capabilities  when
       invoking the faxmodem program to setup a server in a send-only configu‐
       ration; it may be necessary to run faxmodem manually.

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

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