There is no hyla.conf on my system but a sendfax.conf and hfaxd.conf 
sendfax.conf says
TypeRules:      /usr/lib/fax/typerules
KillTime "now + 72 hours"

I can't grep killtime from sendq as there is no job for the time
beeing. But I have checked it the other day, the difference between
the two time values remained 3 hours (that was prior to my changing of
source code).  Now the diff shows about 259200 sec.

I now read config.h again aund found:

#define	FAX_SYSCONF	FAX_LIBDATA "/hyla.conf"
#define	FAX_USERCONF	"~/.hylarc"	/* per-user configuration file */


and in sendfax.c++ I found:

  resetConfig();
  readConfig(FAX_SYSCONF);
  readConfig(FAX_LIBDATA "/sendfax.conf");
  readConfig(FAX_USERCONF);

It seems that sendfax cannot handle the expression KillTime but on the
other hand

  case 'k':		// time to kill job
        proto.setKillTime(optarg);
        break;

is set correctly when  envoked.

I therefore would recommand to add to the HowTo a line saying that the
administrator should create in LIBDIR a file hyla.conf in order to
edit individual systemwide configuration.

Dieter
