Re: [hylafax-users] dev/null



/usr/local/spool/hylafax/ seems a bit unique. Maybe it's looking for dev/null in /var/spool/hylafax/

Hfaxd refuses to start with the message:

Could not create dev/null: No such file or directory

in /var/adm/syslog.

But I do have a /usr/local/spool/hylafax/dev/directory containing:

   -rw-rw-rw-  1 root uucp     0 Sep  6 10:36 null
   -rw-rw-rw-  1 root uucp     0 Sep  6 10:36 socksys
   -rw-rw-rw-  1 root uucp     0 Sep  6 10:36 tcp

The permissions on the way down are:

   drwxrwxrwx 24 root sys   2048 Oct 14 15:00 /usr/local@
   drwxrwxr-x  4 root sys     96 Oct 14 14:05 /usr/local/spool
   drwxr-xr-x 17 uucp uucp  2048 Sep 27 16:17 /usr/local/spool/hylafax
   drwxr-xr-x  2 uucp uucp    96 Sep  6 10:36 /usr/local/spool/hylafax/dev

So why does hfaxd need to re-create its chroot copy of dev/null?


Also: why is the message occuring in /var/adm/syslog when I've specified local 5 as the LogFacility, pointing to /var/adm/hylafaxlog?
