I've been experimenting with mod_fax and discovered it doesn't appear to
receive faxes unless freeswitch is running as root? it fails trying to
open the tiff file for writing (see the logs below). I'm using the
dialplan as prescribed in the wiki without any changes and the user the
freeswitch process is running under has privs to write to /tmp, but it
still fails to receive faxes. I haven't tried sending any faxes yet.

I'm running r10609.

any ideas?

If you're running SELinux then you'll need to correct that on your
machine to allow FreeSWITCH to write to /tmp

I'm running Gentoo Linux.

# uname -a

Linux 2.6.25-gentoo-r7 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Oct 5 01:51:24 PDT 2008 x86_64
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X3320 @ 2.50GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

/tmp is writable by everyone ...

# ls -ld /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 4 root root 4096 Dec 9 08:28 /tmp

ideas?

also, I assume the spool directory is just where it's spooling the file
temporarily while the fax is coming in, but is there a variable I can
set to tell it where to put the file after the fax has been received? it
looks like the time I ran FS as root and received a fax successfully,
the tiff file ended up in /root ?
