I've got a stack of patches for RedHat 5.0 Linux: Matthew has been
graciously putting them up at the FTP site, and the originals are at
http://cirl.meei.harvard.edu/~raoul/patches/

The published RPM for this had a number of things I agree with (such
as renaming xferstats to xferfaxstats to avoid conflicts with the
wu-ftpd configuration). It also had some incorrect or fairly careless
things, such as naming the boot scripts "S80fax" instead of something
like "S80hylafax", and requiring ghostscript fonts of at least
version 5.10 when those are *identical* to the version 4.xx fonts.

So I suggest recompiling with the latest source, version 4.0pl2, and the
patches I've set up to start with.

I am not running into this problem under RedHat 5.0. Perhaps you have a
previous copy of hfaxd running, a remnant of a previous installation?
