Re: Machine/Domain Name
Chris, what you see below is what you need to change. I'm not sure what you mean when you say cwaiken.com is a redirector. If it just relays email for you that isn't good enough. When you attach to a SMTP server the HELO or EHLO is given with a single parameter: your fully-qualified domain name. Some servers are configured to try to check this domain name by resolving it to an IP and then checking to see if that IP matches the IP address of the peer on the connection. If such a check doesn't match it won't take mail. So, what you need to do is if you're on a dialup you need to update the exim config file as Terry has indicated and restart exim. Alternatively you could register with a dynamic dns provider, to have something like cwaiken.dyndns.org. In either case you can effect this by modifying your PPP ip-up script(s).

Re: POP - IMAP w/ Maildirs?
The Cyrus IMAP server (http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/) is designed to handle mail for users who don't have accounts on the machine. I'd take a look at it.

Re: Internet Cafe
This shouldn't be too tough. I'd look at radius for authorizing and accounting. It's built for this kind of stuff. As for automatically logging people out this should be too tough. Just fire off a program when the xdm/gdm session starts. This little helper program could wait for a message from the box where your radius server runs. When the time is running out it can send a little message to the helper giving it a 5-minute warning. The helper would fire up a little message box (I believe gnome has a mini-app that'll do this--just display a text message) warning the user their time is running out. When the time actually runs out you can just kill the X server--or perhaps do something a little more graceful.

Re: Enabling Serial Port Console Login
No need to recompile the kernel. Your kernel should either have serial port support compiled in or in a module. On your server try 'cat /dev/ttyS0' If you get an error: cat: /dev/ttyS0: No such device Then your kernel doens't have support. Otherwise it does. Now you just need to run a getty on the port. This is the process that actually listens to the port for connections and allows you to log in. init starts the getty processes. Add the following line to /etc/inittab: S0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 ttyS0 To get init to reread /etc/inittab and start up a getty just run 'kill -HUP 1' or reboot. Now inittab will start a getty process on the port, setting it to 38400 baud. Of course you can change the baud to match whatever you're coming in at from your terminal server. You should now be table to log into your machine if it's got a crossover cable hooked up to COM1 (yes, you definitely do need a crossover cable unless it's a modem hooked up to COM1; computers and terminals are wired DTE on their serial ports so this is necessary).

Re: DNS problem
Anson Ng wrote: Hi, (I'm sorry for the long email, but since I've to tell situation) I've registered a domain name impko.com at Network Solutions. But since I haven't setup my DNS server and running properly, I parked it to Network solutions for the time being. I want to host the domain for my LAN, which consists of a Linux box (24.123.456.789) running www, mail, news, ftp for public access and the internal LAN (192.168.1.x). Last night, I configured a primary DNS server for impko.com, but I think I missed the reverse-IP lookup settings. Since I've only 1 external IP, i.e. 24.123.456.789, I named my Linux box serv1.impko.com and then www, mail, news, ftp, ns1 are all CNAME to it. And I got it working on my internal LAN, but I don't have a secondary. Here are my problems and questions: 1. I tried to unpark the domain from Network Solutions and it required 2 hostnames of the DNS server for the domain. So I provided them the official hostname (cr123456-a.ym1.on.wave.home.com) for the primary DNS, and for the secondary DNS, I typed in the primary DNS server hostname from my ISP since don't have another IP for the secondary. However it returned Host name invalid for both of my entries. It said the hostname must host the domain, but I already configured my own DNS. Each NS record must refer to a registered HOST. In order to register a HOST record in a domain you must own that domain. There can only be one HOST record per IP address. You need to register serv1.impko.com as a HOST with network solutions. You'll need a second NS server as well. It has to be a different machine than the first and it must also naturally be registered as a HOST. 2. Can I do it this way, my own DNS server for the primary entry and the primary DNS from ISP for the secondary? You can if they are actually going to provide DNS for your domain. 3. Since there is no DNS server on earth (except the one I host) can resolve ns1.impko.com, how can I use this DNS entry? This is what HOST records are for--so that the root servers which have the records for your domain can also give the IP addresses of the NS servers listed for it. 4. How can I restrict the resolve of the hostname, e.g. mydesktop.impko.com of my internal LAN for only internal use, i.e. not for public? But I still have to resolve the www, mail, etc. however they're in different network, 24.123.456.789 and 192.168.1.x Many sites large and small use a dual-dns configuration. You run two instances of named. You can do this because named allows you to specify that it bind to a specific IP address (or addresses). So, you run one instance which binds to the internal Ip address and one that binds to the external. In order to get this to happen in debian you'll want to either modify your existing /etc/init.d/bind or better yet copy this one to a new one called /etc/init.d/bind-internal and get it registered to start up using 'update-rc.d bind-internal' and modify this script to pass your other config script. 5. Can I setup both the primary and secondary DNS server on the same box using the same IP? No. There are organizations (or at least there used to be) of people who would secondary for each other. I don't remember any URLs for these places. Use google. 6. I use linuxconf to configure the DNS, when I add the domain to the DNS, there's a field named Main Server (the 2nd field), what should I typed in it if this is my primary DNS for the domain? I don't use linuxconf so I can't comment. 7. After I successfully host my domain, is there anything I've to inform my ISP to update? You first have to get them to agree to be a secondary DNS for you. If they agree you just need to give them your IP and enable (if you've disabled them) axfr transfers for their DNS server. I know there are too many questions, sorry. Hope you could help me on my questions, thank you. That's ok. The number and nature of your questions sound like you're in a little bit over your head. You should read man pages and RFCs. Don't expect people on mailing lists to tutor from being a newbie to being an expert in DNS administration. All this stuff isn't that hard but there are a bunch of things you need to understand to be able to set things up the way you need them to be. Just being able to run linuxconf won't be enough. In fact, you probably won't be able to use linuxconf at least not for the internal because linuxconf won't expect (I'm guessing) that you want to run two instances of named which you'll have to to have an internal version of your domain and an external.

Re: linux + wan (frame relay)
We used a Sangoma Wanpipe card in a linux box for about a year and were very happy with it. We only stopped using it because we moved our office and opted for DSL in the new space. This card can also be purchased with a built-in CSU/DSU which is what we got so other than your linux box you only need to purchase this card which we paid I think $800 US for. I would recommend this card to anyone. I would imagine that most needs would be filled with this card although there are almost certainly things a cisco can do that a linux box can't.

Re: Java support? (apache + tomcat)
Oh, if you're running slink then that's the problem. Unfortunately the package
doesn't exist in slink, probably because it wasn't packaged until potato was
underway. The jdk package available in slink is called jdk1.1 so 'apt-get
install
jdk1.1' should work fine.
BTW, http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages is very helpful for looking up
packages. Also, I've been running potato for a while and it's pretty stable
except
that every once in a while a package is submitted which won't install properly.
I
deal with this by simply resisting the temptation to daily 'apt-get update;
apt-get
dist-upgrade' which it seems so many people do and then moan and groan about how
this or that package doesn't work. If you're willing to put up with this
occasional
convenience it's worth going to potato for all those packages you'd really like
to
run.

Re: SSL for smtp pop
Wilson Yau wrote: Maybe this is not quite a relevant question should be posted on this mailing list, but I'd be very grateful if anyone can give me quick correct answers to the following questions: Q.1/ I have a mail server running Debian/GNU Linux Potato 2.2 w/ kernel 2.2.15. Is there any open source utilities I can use to enable SSL support for both pop smtp? The qmail-src package provides the source for the excellent MTA qmail. See: http://www.qmail.org/top.html . SSL (read: TLS) support in qmail is available through a patch which is listed on the qmail page: http://www.esat.kuleuven.ac.be/~vermeule/qmail/tls.patch . I haven't tried to compile and use this myself. Actually if I may insert my opinion TLS is worthless for general use because you can only count on the mail being encrypt from you to your MTA. After that it will be relayed to the next SMTP server and that one probably doesn't support TLS so it'll be sent in the clear. SSL is lots easier for POP because with POP SSL is handled differently. With SMTP support is added through a special command (STARTTLS) which tells the server to start up TLS. This is necessary because SMTP always has to run on port 25 since all systems assume this. With POP, a different port is used. Standard pop-3 runs on port 110 and pop-3 over ssl uses port 995. So, if you want to run pop-3 over ssl you can use the stunnel package. The stunnel package works by just sitting in between the client and any old pop-3 server you care to run. Q.2/ Do Outlook Express 5.0 onwards Netscape 4.6 onwards offer SSL support for both pop smtp? If they do not, any other mail clients do? Netscape 4.6 does support secure pop-3 and smtp. I haven't tried the secure smtp before but I have used pop-3 over ssl and can testify that it works.

Re: Help with COM port based terminal access
This is easily done by running mgetty on the port. Note that booting your computer keyboard-less can be a problem. Many systems will hang in the BIOS POST if they can't sense the keyboard is present.

Re: Help with COM port based terminal access
Oh, ok. Now I'm with you. Sure, for this you don't want mgetty. Just use the regular getty that's already on the system. Here's what you do. First edit /etc/inittab to get init to run a getty on your chosen serial port (I'll assume for purposes of exposition you want to use the first serial port, /dev/ttyS0). I'll also assume you want to run the port at 38400bps. Add the following line to /etc/inittab: T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 38400 vt100 Now to get init running this do 'kill -HUP 1' (init is always the first process in linux and so will always have the pid 1, the HUP signal tells init to reread /etc/inittab and act accordingly for any changes). Now the getty should be running. On your laptop you'll want to install a terminal program. I prefer seyon (which is an X app) or minicom (curses app). Hook up your null-modem (Rx and Tx are swapped) serial cable, run your terminal program, set the bps to 38400 and you should be in business. You should get a login prompt.

Re: simple dhcp questions...
That is weird. The option routers line is indeed supposed to set the default
gateway. This works fine for me. I will say though that if your laptop is
actually running WinNT and you have two ethernet interfaces (one pcmcia, one
in the docking station) this is pretty much standard behavior. You have to
release the one you're not using using NT's ipconfig command.

I am setting up a dhcp server so I can connect my laptop to my home

I'm having 2 problems detailed below.
I'm trying to get the following:

option domain-name JJLNet;
option domain-name-servers gw.JJLNet;

And get back this:

exiting.
==
Which is odd because of this:
==man dhcp-options==
option all-subnets-local flag;
This option specifies whether or not the client may
assume that all subnets of the IP network to which the
client is connected use the same MTU as the subnet of
that network to which the client is directly connected.
A value of 1 indicates that all subnets share the same
MTU. A value of 0 means that the client should assume
that some subnets of the directly connected network may
have smaller MTUs.
OK, so I get rid of the offending line, and everything SEEMS ok until
I actually connect.
Everything seems to be cool except that my default IP gateway is not
getting set. Isn't that supposed to be the routers line? (The ip
gateway is still set to the gateway on the network at work)...
Thanks!

Re: FW: IMAP + QMAIL
Did you make sure to compile courier-imap with PAM support? I don't remember from when I compiled it but you probably have to specify this. This is what I'm using. Your AUTHMODULES should contain authpam. It would seem that authshadow should've worked but it wouldn't if you're using md5 passwords (this is specified when you install the box). Once you've got authpam in there you'll need to add an /etc/pam.d/imap file if it doesn't exist. Mine is just: authrequiredpam_unix_auth.so shadow nullok accountrequiredpam_unix_acct.so sessionrequiredpam_unix_session.so Give that a try. If you want to test in a more controlled way you can telnet to the server and talk IMAPV41 directly. Telnet to it from the machine it's running on with: telnet localhost 143. You'll get a response like: * OK Courier-IMAP ready. Copyright 1998-2000 Double Precision, Inc. See COPYING for distribution information. Now, as for the basics, each IMAP command is tagged so the first token just needs to be some tag. The command we want to test is the 'login' command which takes the login name and password as extra tokens. So, you'll type in: 1 login user password and if all is good you'll get the response: 1 OK LOGIN Ok. But if the authentication fails you'll get back: 1 NO Login failed. This will tell you if it's really working or not since with Outlook you never know what the [EMAIL PROTECTED] it's doing. You can then just logout with: 2 logout Try these things out and let me know.

Re: ipchains latency
10-30 seconds for telnet? Even on a 386/33 this is just way too much delay to be accounting for in packet filtering rules. I would suspect something else, like ident checking which is waiting to time out and reverse-dns lookups timing out. Often these two things are used to gather info to log about who's getting into your machine. If they aren't there it can take a while for the lookup to time out. Check into that.

Re: Question about a module ne
This happens because the ne modules relies on the 8390 module. It's best to use modprobe instead of insmod since it will resolve these dependencies for you. Alternatively, you can just first say 'insmod 8390' and then your insmod line. If you were trying to setup this card during installation of the operating system and it wouldn't take the options you passed on the command line this is because of a long-standing bug which was there in Hamm and I think even Bo. You'd think they'd fix it huh? When I got bit by this the second time it'd been so long I didn't even remember the problem. The solution in that scenario is indeed to exit to the command line and manually insert the module.

Re: Raid setup
This is a bigger issue than you surmise. RAID collections are activated after the system boots because information about the RAID set has to be fed to the RAID drivers. It's possible someone has devised a way of feeding this information to the kernel at boot time. These problems can be alleviated by a hardware raid controller.

Re: dhcp
dhcp-client is indeed the package you want. Post the error messages you get during install. In order to run a gateway for your external interface you'll want to set up IP Masquerading and then have all your other boxes point to your linux box as their default gateway. In order to get IP Masq. going you'll need to get your kernel loading the masq. modules and then configure the masquerading using ipfwadm or ipchains depending on your kernel. Please look at the IP Masquerading HOWTO for details: http://www.linux.org/help/ldp/howto/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO.html John Plummer wrote: Hi, Sorry to bother you with another newbie question but hours searching man, info, HOWTO's and FAQ's wasn't too revealing.

Both work under NT but I'm trying to switch to Debian. Loaded ver. 2.1 from the CD with dselect settings stable main contrib. Added the 3Com during installation and later using modconf added a tulip module for the Netgear. This was implied from an email thread about the Netgear NIC. The problem is first how to get DHCP up and running so as not to have to switch back to the dark side to browse and do email. Running dpkg --list 'dhcp*' listed a few dhcp entries, e.g. dhcp, dhcp-client, dhcp-beta, dhcpd, etc. But both apt-get install dhcp-client and using dselect (probably incorrectly) erred out. Can anyone point me to some docs on doing this? The second needed HOWTO would be setting up the gateway for the LAN through the 3Com.

Re: Trying to autostart mySQL
runlevel is a parameter to init. init is the first (and only) process started directly from within the kernel itself. Starting init is the last thing the kernel does. You can pass a parameter to the kernel for it to pass to init, which is the runlevel. If no runlevel is passed then init relies on the default runlevel in /etc/inittab. init also uses /etc/inittab to decide what other things to run (which includes all the rc scripts).

Re: funky samba stuff
Whoa. This sounds like a bug I ran into long ago. I got it when I upgraded to potato but kept my 2.0.X kernel.

The configure script checks for the existence of this library call and uses it if it exists. It did on my potato system but didn't work. I fixed it by munging the source after configure was run.

With Netscape is easy to configure it, but I don't know how to do that with smail or sendmail. Can somebody help me? the problem is: smtp has NO password at all (AFAIK). the point is, you have to do POP before SMTP to authorize yourself, which netscape does normally. This is not true. SMTP can have the AUTH extension to allow user/password authentication. This mechanism is used by many ISPs and is implemented in mail SMTP servers (including recent sendmail versions). when using an mta (e.g. sendmail) you have to do a fetchmail before sending any e-mail. on one box i configured i simply put a fetchmail in the ppp-up script, that is, fetchmail is called directly after dialing in. a problem arises, if you stay on-line that long, that your authorization times out - then you would have to fetchmail before sending e-mail again. but i thing it is a good idea to run fetchmail as a daemon as long as you are on-line, so it checks for mail and holds your smpt-authorization open every, say 10, minutes. in short: put a fetchmail -d 600 in your /etc/ppp/ppp-up put a fetchmail --quit in your /etc/ppp/ppp-down (i'm not sure if the files are in /etc/ppp/ on debian, as i set up a suse box.)

Re: Remote printing with lprng
Symbolic links work fine across separate filesystems, NFS or otherwise. Hard links cannot be made to files outside the filesystem where the file linked to resides. I would guess rather that the link failure refers to an inability to connect (or a connection which terminates). Look at the lpd man page to see how access is controlled to the printer.

Re: Remote printing with lprng
I'm not too sure. If you print to a remote printer then the file must be sent over the network. I'm not sure why the daemon would complain then about the file not being linked. Joseph A.

Re: python startup files
I dunno about .pythonrc.py. The docs I read said to put startup code in
~/.python-startup.py and this is what I use successfully. In order to modify
python's
search path from python code you just need to manipulate the sys.path list, eg.:
import sys
sys.path.append('path-to-append')
In order to augment the python search path from an environment variable just set
PYTHONPATH (colon-separated list just as the PATH variable). This is in the man
page.
Did you read the fine manual?

Re: Netscape blows away preferences.js file when disk is full
Well, there probably isn't much you can do about this. Everything I've seen with Netscape indicates that it regenerates the preferences.js each time it runs. This means that when it's shutting down it probably opens the file for writing without the append bit. If the file system is full at this point the calls to write to the file probably just fail. You could probably report this to netscape but there's little they could (or would, I imagine) do to fix this. You just need to keep your disk from filling up. Why not write a wrapper script for netscape that will calculate available disk space when before it starts and the write to this same preferences file the preference to limit netscape's cache allowance size to something less than what's available. This should fix the problem unless you're creating other files while running netscape. Bob Horvath wrote: I am seeing a recurring problem that is quite annoying. My disk space is at a premium. If I am doing something and the disk fills, I first get a Error saving bookmarks error. Netscape doesn't crash, but upon stopping it and restarting it, all of the preferences are gone.

Re: Kernel SCSI for Adaptec 1505
A new Adaptec 1505 scsi card? Well, this card could hardly be new. Anyway! This card is incapable of auto-detect. You *must* supply kernel (or module if you're loading as a module) options to tell the driver what IO, IRQ, etc. you want to use. For instance, in my /etc/lilo.conf file I've got: append = aha152x=0x340,9,7,1,1,0,100,1 This is because mine's compiled into the kernel. If I were loading as a module then I'd have a file /etc/modutils/aha152x and inside this file: options aha152x aha152x=0x340,11,7,1,1,0,100,1 This works just dandy for me.

Re: Adding a lot of users in a single operation.
The trouble is that none of the utilities (that I know of) allow you to specify
the
password on the command line. Perhaps you can do it with pipes, like the
following.
Ok, let's say you have a file users.txt with a list of user names you want to
add, one
per line.
for i in $(cat users.txt) ; do pwd=$(makepasswd) ; echo $i $pwd userpass.txt
;
adduser --disabled-password --gecos $i $i ; cpwd=$(perl -e 'print
crypt('$pwd',
'$i');') ; echo -e '/^'$i':/ s/:!:/:'$cpwd':/\nw\n' | ed /etc/passwd ; done
That should do it. (See, you had to user perl after all.) Mind you the above is
all
one line, you'll have to fix the breaks inserted by my mail-reader and yours.
Good
practice dictates you save your /etc/passwd file before completing the above.
Also,
the above assumes you are not using shadow passwords. In any case the above
should be
adaptable to shadow passwords too if you can see what I'm doing.

The debian installation balked at the partition step, it said the disk was factory fresh or screwed up. I assumed it might be the Disk Manager partition voodoo, so... I did not have the disk for Disk Manager so I did not properly uninstall it, but rather simply repartitioned the drive with DOS fdisk. Same message from the installation program so I shelled out and ran cfdisk directly. This worked great. I partitioned the drive the way I wanted with a ~768MB hda2 at the beginning of the drive and a ~8MB swap hda1 at the end. The rest of the installation script went smoothly until the reboot when I discovered the above. I have a nagging suspicion that the hda2 needs to be reduced or that the boot record still has the Disk Manager strap in it. I'm going to set it aside in case I have to start over. Any guidance would be appreciated. TTFN, Matthew Denson -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null -- Jens B.

Well, the disks are iterated by SCSI ID, which is usually set by jumpers on the drive to a number between 0 and 7. Physical distance is irrelevant and not really knowable by the SCSI adapter or the OS. For some historical reason Sun boxes have always (all the one's I've ever encountered, from Sparc 2s up through Ultras) had their internal drives with the OS installed as SCSI ID 3. 2nd question: re: tape backups. i am trying to finess mt, dump, and restore to do the job for us. they work o.k., except that there are a few main information bits that seem to be missing. i went through the mans on each of these, and i can't see anywhere an operation that will tell me how much space is left on the tape. GNU mt version 2.4.2 Package: dump Version: 0.4b4-13 Unfortunately there isn't really a way for the device or the software to know how much space is left on the tape. The drive can't find this out. I've done the same kind of thing as you. I've written a perl script which takes care of keeping track what's on the tape (the script labels the tape by keeping a record at the end of what dump was made when) and puts multiple backups on the same tape so I only have to change it once a week. I'm sending this along in a separate email and you may do with it what you wish. 3rd question: cdrom drive: i also have a cdrom drive ii want to put on the system. whenever i add it to the chain, however, i get a scsi bus interrupt; reset infinite loop when i try to boot. here's how my system looks as above for the hard drives. external case with hard drives: id 2 plus: hp tape backup: scsi id 4 this configuration works fine. but when i add the cdrom to the end of the chain, i have the problem. the last device is terminated properly. with respect to scsi types; sparc - (fast scsi 2) -- external drives (scsi) -- hp tape (scsi) -- cdrom (sun - fast scsi 2) i tried setting the cdrom as device 5 and 6, neither worked. however, the nvram probe-scsi util did find them all properly and it looked fine in that setting. it was only when i went to boot when it went into an infinite loop. could it be a driver problem? i have the sg and st modules loaded. I doubt it's a driver problem but how far does the boot get? What's the last thing that happens. I'm still going to guess that this is a termination problem. Is this an external cdrom in its own enclosure? Is your chain too long (can't remember the limit offhand). thanks for any assistance with this. Sure. Good luck. -- Jens B. Jorgensen [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: proxyarp
You can use the arp command to make your machine answer arp requests for whatever address you'd like. The arp command is in the netbase package so you should already have it. For example, if I wanted my machine to answer arp requests for the host 192.9.202.22 and my ethernet address is 00:C0:4F:4F:F5:59 and I want to answer request on the eth0 interface then the command would be: arp -i eth0 -s 192.9.202.22 00:C0:4F:4F:F5:59 pub esl wrote: Help, please.

Re: Debian and Microsoft proxy
No, the M$ proxy server is not capable of ip masq, at least not in the linux sense of ip masq. As you've noticed, using the M$ proxy requires their own proprietary client software (suprised?). M$ does not release specs of how to talk to their proxy server. That said, I can assure you that the M$ proxy server does support socks4 protocol. This must be enabled by your systems administrator. Once this is done you can install the socks4-client package. This package includes a runsocks script which you can use to run basically any program 'socksified'. This will work (I myself have a debian machine which accesses the net through M$ proxy server). David Cureton wrote: Hi all, I have access to the net via microsoft proxy which is capable of ip masq.

Re: DHCP problem....
I would add: if you want to be able to ping the machine just like you can windows boxes then you'll need the Linux version of the software which makes this mechanism (Lan Manager a.k.a. Windows Networking) work. This package is called samba and is available as a couple different debian packages. Doing 'apt-get install samba' should get you there. Note that you may need a script which will update /etc/hosts. I'm not sure if the current dhcp package will do this and samba will not work otherwise.

Re: DHCP problem....
Yes, ok. Well the first thing is you want to use the newer client,
(dhcp-client-beta if you're running slink, dhcp-client if you're running
potato). Using the newer client is necessary because this client does not go
into the background until it gets an address (or times out, but let's
hope/assume that doesn't happen). The older client did go into the background
with the unfortunate result that samba and other network daemons that want to
know what your address is and want to look it up by host name would be started
right away before the dhcp client had time to get an address.
The next thing is to modify /etc/dhclient-script. This script is run at various
times by the dhcp client daemon in order to accomplish certain things like
setting up routes. We need to add code to it so that when dhcp acquires an IP
address it will update the /etc/hosts file to make the machine's host name
resolve to it's IP address properly. I've included my /etc/dhclient-script
which you can copy from.

Re: fax page size
If the fax pages appear stretched then the conflict is most likely due to a confusion between 'normal' and 'fine' resolution of the fax you're sending. That is, perhaps the fax is formatted at 'normal' resolution (204 x 98 dpi) but the fax software thinks it's been formatted at 'fine' resolution (204 x 196 dpi), and tells the fax receiver so. You see, the resolution of the document is a negotiated parameter in the fax transmission.
