Re: flexfax: hfaxd won't start

Nico-

  Just a final note in case you are curious.  I was able to get HylaFAX 
to work perfectly by simply creating the dev/null entry as root with 
mknod.  Everything else worked fine.  So the compilation was not 
necessarily the issue.  
  I cannot determine why the server fails to create the dev/null file 
since it is able to make dev/tcp and dev/socksys.  My limitted 
programming ability cannot determine why the source code might fail to 
work.
  Look at line 98 of hfaxd/main.c++ to see where the special file is 
created if missing.

Anyhow, I am happy that all works well.  Thanks for all your help.

Tony
