Dear Friends, I had the problem reported in the message below with hylafax installation compiled from scratch from the standard ports of rel.5.3. I solved the problem "asking around" to many mailing lists and found the solution which - in this case - was as simple as:
chmod a+rx -R /var/spool Now hylafax works! BUT ... if another user compiles hylafax from the ports chances are it will come across the same problems. How can I help avoiding this? Is there a bug reporting mailing list or should I write to the mantainer of the program (maho 'at' freebsd 'dot' org) to indicate my solution? Furthermore, not being an expert my solution could introduce some security hole in the system; who's going to check it?
