[hylafax-users] faxgetty moved on me



I'm not sure if this is documented and I missed it, or if I installed
faxgetty in the wrong place the first time, or what. This is probably the
result of me doing something wrong, but I thought it would be worth
mentioning in the case that it comes up for someone else. My original
installation of Hylafax, which was built from source 4.1.rc2 if I recall
correctly, had faxgetty in /usr/local/sbin. My inittab entry for faxgetty
thus pointed there. When I upgraded to 4.1.2, using the rpm from
ftp.hylafax.org, faxgetty wasn't reporting CID info, thus causing faxrcvd to
barf. I received the suggestion that I had not restarted init to run the new
faxgetty online, but I had, so I thought there was some other issue.
Long story short, it is late on a Friday, faxgetty is now found in
/usr/sbin, and my inittab was pointing at the old version. Something for you
to remember when upgrading.
