Dear Friends, I had the problem reported in the message below with hylafax installation=20 compiled from scratch from=20 the standard ports of rel.5.3.=20 I solved the problem "asking around" to many mailing lists and found the=20 solution which - in this case - was as simple as: chmod a+rx -R /var/spool Now hylafax works! BUT ... if another user compiles hylafax from the ports chances are it will= =20 come across the same problems.=20 How can I help avoiding this? Is there a bug reporting mailing list or should I write to the mantainer of= =20 the program (maho 'at' freebsd 'dot' org) to indicate my solution?=20 =46urthermore, not being an expert my solution could introduce some securit= y=20 hole in the system; who's going to check it?
