[Simon Robert <simon-robert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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
