I think I have some of that witchcraft as well. I understand you not 
having the respawning in the inittab file. It's wierd. It seems they want
you to have that entry in the inittab for Red Hat based system. I have 
tried with and without to no avail.
I did notice that during faxsetup did not create the FaxMaster entry. I 
will have to get to the bottom of this.

Kind Regards
