And how would the chrooted deamons access it?

Everything is under $SPOOL because that way a chroot $SPOOL allows
access to everything hylafax needs to run, and limits possible system
damage on "something bad happening".

Many rpms/deb/etc put a symlink from /etc/hylafax -> $SPOOL/etc so
people really needing to find hfaxd/faxq/faxgetty/faxsend config
somewhere under /etc can do so..
