(forgive me if you receive this twice . . . somewhere along the line I've 
picked up flexfax@celestial.com in my cc list, and I'm not able to post there.

Anyway, back to my original post:

I'm not so sure . . . I don't think I can fault the following though:

./configure \
--with-DIR_BIN=/usr/bin \
--with-DIR_SBIN=/usr/sbin \
--with-DIR_LIBEXEC=/usr/sbin \
--with-DIR_LIBDATA=/usr/share/fax \

I will do so if warranted. As you say, the existing script should be fine, at 
least it always has been for me.

There are actually very few glaring problems in the RPM at the moment. I'm 
adding the housekeeping, and removing a few of the more adventurous and 
controversial departures from HylaFAX convention, though I am leaving the 
xferfaxstats stuff in (and have fixed faxcron).
