>Description:
The comms/qpage port has a few minor problems. A default installation gives
the following errors when the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qpage.sh script is
execute:
qpage[68438]: cannot open /etc/qpage.cf: No such file or directory
qpage[68438]: cannot access LockDir(/var/spool/lock): Permission denied
qpage[68438]: cannot access QueueDir(/var/spool/qpage): No such file or directory
qpage[68438]: cannot chdir to QueueDir(/var/spool/qpage): No such file or directory
In short:
1) qpage looks for its configuration file in /etc instead of /usr/local/etc
2) It setuid()'s to a user (daemon) without permission to access /var/spool/lock
but does not document this anywhere outside of the source.
3) It's queue directory is not created by installing the port.
>How-To-Repeat:
portinstall comms/qpage
>Fix:
1) Apply this patch (or something similar) to get qpage to look in /usr/local/etc .
