    I understand that there are plans for making a new
    patch to Hylafax, and I would like to make a small suggestion
    for this new version.
    
    The sugguestion has to do with the "error" messages
    that FaxSend sends to the log file when the dialrules file is not readable.
    
    I will show/explain how it currently goes.
    
    1.  I made a new dialrules, but it was chmod 600 and owned by root. (oops, an 
    oversigt on my part).
    
    2.  I try to run Hylafax, it runs fine, but in the log file:
    
        Dec 31 18:15:00 pc126 FaxSend[9013]: Cannot open file for reading
        Dec 31 18:15:00 pc126 FaxSend[9013]: Parse error in dial string rules 
    "etc/dialrules.sartre" 
    
    3.   I couldn't understand why I was getting a "parse error", because I had 
    tested my rules with: dialtest, and it worked fine.  (-:
    
    4.  Anyway, perhaps FaxSend could specify which file it could not open, and
        I suppose that Parse error is a misleading message, with the named file
        is not actually being read.
    
    (I tried to find where these things happen in the sourcecode, but I 
    couldn't.)
    
    Thanks for your consideration.

Thanks for the hint. I'll have a look at it.
