FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE-p7 #0: Mon Sep  9 21:23:37 UTC 2013     root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386
>Description:
When installing hylafax an existing 
/var/spool/hylafax/etc/hosts.hfaxd
file gets overwritten by a default version, deleting an existing configuration.
Expected behaviour: The install script / Makefile / whatever checks if there is an existing version of the file and leaves it intact.

I do not know if this problem is specific to the port or if this is a problem in the upstream hylafax install script / Makefile / whatever.

PORTNAME=	hylafax
PORTVERSION=	6.0.6

>How-To-Repeat:
