Umm. Get the hylafax-v4.0pl2/etc/hylafax script from your source
directory, and put it in the appropriate /etc/rc* directory
(/etc/rc0.d/init/hylafax under RedHat Linux). Create symbolic links
from there to the other appropriate directories, named things like
"K05hylafax" to kill off the process at that runlevel, and
"S91hylafax" to initialize it at that runlevel.

Either comment hfaxd out of the "hylafax" script or take it *out* of the
inetd and run it as a background daemon with the hylafax script.
