FAXADDUSER(8C)

💖 FAXADDUSER(8C) 💖

okay so bestie, you want to add a fax user? say less. this is faxadduser from section 8C of the manual, and she's here to help 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

faxadduser — add a fax user to the permissions file 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

/usr/bin/faxadduser [ -a admin-password ] [ -f permissions file ] [ -h host name ] [ -p password ] [ -u uid ] username

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie: faxadduser creates a brand new user for HylaFAX services, and it updates the appropriate permission files while it's at it (peep hosts.hfaxd(5F) if you wanna know more 👀).

ngl, there's another way to do this — you can also add users through the SITE ADDUSER feature from an administrative client. but here's the thing that makes faxadduser different: she works with the hosts.hfaxd(5F) file directly and does not operate as an administrative client. main character energy, honestly. 👑

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

the following options are available, and yes we're listing every single one because that's the vibe:

• -a admin-password — password for the user to gain admin privileges 🔥
• -c — add new user records at the bottom of the hosts.hfaxd file instead of at the top (yes, position matters, iykyk)
• -f permissions-file — use a permissions file other than the default 🍓
• -h host name — authenticate user from this host only. nobody else. periodt.
• -p password — password for the user to access fax services 🔐
• -u user-id — user id number for user ✨
