I wrote a perl script to let users change their fax-reader status among restricted/unrestricted/trusted from the command line, so it can be run from a crontab or reminder file at specified times. If there's any demand for such a thing, I'll e-mail or post it; let me know. It also lets root add fax access for users with none now. The idea (here) was to let someone who might need to get faxes when the office is closed, but shouldn't be bothered by e-mail that faxes have arrived during normal hours, run this from his crontab file to change his status automatically when the office closes and back to restricted the next morning (or sooner by hand). You can't use this without perl. On the other hand, I can't imagine (any longer) trying to administer a system without perl. -- Irving_Wolfe@Happy-Man.com Happy Man Corp. 206/463-9399 x101 4410 SW Pt.
