One might consider, in such a case, grabbing the CVS to check if this bug 
still exists, and submitting a patch to patches@hylafax.org. Then again, one 
might not have the time, in which case thanks for mentioning this.

If you care to outline the "missing" documentation perhaps we can work towards 
getting some of it drafted. Any volunteers for documenting the setup and 
config of HylaFAX for the uninitiated? Anyone have such a "work in progress"?

Poppycock. That 4.1beta2 is solid on RedHat linux in no way qualifies it
as an overall release candidate. When it builds on all of the major UNIX
distributions and is confirmed solid then we release - not before.
