Hi
I have an installation where an application uses faxspool. The ID of the user does not match that of the underlying linux user, i.e. the application user has a user name bth and linux understands the application as being run by root.


faxspool returns a message, faxq-helper; name mismatch (bth <> root)

the situation is the same if logged in as simon I su to root and run faxspool from the command line (simon <> root). Its OK if I'm not su'd or logged in as root.

Is there anyway I can make faxspool think the user is bth/simon.

Thanks for any ideas.

Simon
