Kindly confirm follows;

# chown -R fax.fax /var/spool/fax

(Is there a "." (stop) between fax.fax)


I suppose the fax group you referred to is

# cd /var/spool/fax/
# ls
incoming  outgoing

# cd /var/spool/fax/outgoing/
# ls -l
total 4
-rw-------    1 lp       lp              0 May 22 15:42 acct

-rwxrwxrwx    1 lp       lp              0 May 22 15:10 lock

# cd /var/spool/fax/incoming/
# ls -l
total 4
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         3935 May 27 12:01 modem.1626


Where shall I add the USER.  

Is it to

#chmod 666 modem.1626

Kindly advise.  Thanks in advance.
