FAXサーバ構築(mgetty+sendfax) CentOS編

CentOS5.5でもFAXサーバを作ってみました。
以前の方法でだいたいOKですが、多少違いがありましたのでその点のみ。

/etc/inittabは以下のように最終行に記載をします。

7:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS0

また、CentOSでは/etc/mgetty+sendfax/new_faxコマンドで利用するmmencodeがありません。以前のnew_faxではなく、/usr/share/doc/mgetty-1.1.33/samples/new_fax.tiff を /etc/mgetty+sendfax/new_faxとしてコピーしパーミッションも755に変更しましょう。
結局 new_fax.tiff中で使っているコマンドのmetasendがCentOSではパッケージされていないため利用を断念。旧来のnew_faxに戻しました。ただし前述の通りmmencodeコマンドがない為base64コマンドに置き換えています。(53,54行目と117,118行目)

#
# A script to send mgetty's incoming faxes via MIME encoded EMail;
# by Martin Spott (martin.spott@@uni-duisburg.de), I borrowed one or two
# lines from other's ....
#
# I wrote this one because I wanted a program using as little specialized
# MIME tools as possible.
#
# This 'new_fax' only needs ' g3topbm', 'pnmscale' and 'pnmtotiff' from the
# 'pbmplus' package, 'mmencode' from the 'multimail' packages, and the rest
# is standard Unix tools.
# It was tested with thsmail under Linux and PMMail under OS/2 as frontends.

# This script is called when a message was recorded.
# It gets the following arguments:
#      $1 : the hangup code
#      $2 : the remote id
#      $3 : the number of pages
#      $4... : the file names

# Place the correct EMail-adresses here !!!

exit 0

また、/etc/samba/smb.confも修正が必要です。CentOSなど最近のLinuxからは印刷システムがlpdではなくCUPSに変更になっています。samba経由で印刷する際にはCUPSにデータが渡されてしまいprint commandが効かない為、[global]セクションにcupsを利用しない設定を加えましょう。

;       printing = cups
printing = bsd

最後の/etc/mgetty+sendfax/fax.allowファイルを編集しないとrootユーザしかFAXが送信できません。

root <samba経由でFAXにアクセスするLinuxユーザ名>

とFAX送信可能なユーザを定義しましょう。

これでファックスの送受信が可能になります。
しかし最近はめっきりFAXを利用する機会も減りましたね…。
