Re: [hylafax-users] Caldera faxsetup problem with useradd

[Lee Howard <faxguy@deanox.com>]

It doesn't quite patch right:

[root@metroid src]# dir
OpenLinux                   hylafax  linux-2.2.14  tiff-v3.5.5
caldera-add-fax-user.patch  linux    sox
[root@metroid src]# patch -bp0 < caldera-add-fax-user.patch
patching file `hylafax/etc/faxsetup.linux'
Hunk #1 FAILED at 30.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to hylafax/etc/faxsetup.linux.rej
[root@metroid src]#

This is possibly due to CR/LF at the end of the lines, I didn't check.
But, following your lead, I made a less-intrusive patch like this, which
works both on Caldera 2.3 and on RedHat 6.1 (my current testing stations).

Thanks,
Lee Howard
