If you're installing for the first time or want to change your configuration, you may want to run the following script as root: ${PREFIX}/lib/mgetty+sendfax/setup It will help you to create the following configuration files in ${SYSCONFDIR}/mgetty+sendfax: faxheader mgetty.config sendfax.config The faxrm utility and man page have been renamed to avoid conflict with comms/hylafax: faxrm -> mgetty-faxrm faxrm(1) -> mgetty-faxrm(1) NOTE: starting with 1.1.35p3, mgetty and vgetty have been moved to ${PREFIX}/libexec. If you're updating, you may have to edit your /etc/ttys.
