Still, there's no compile-time knob to change this easily, which makes 'portupgrade' a bit of a pain. :) >How-To-Repeat: 1) cd /usr/ports/comms/qpage; make install 2) set up /usr/local/etc/qpage.cf to use a modem, for example: modem=modem device=/dev/cuaa1 service=foobarpagerco device=modem baudrate=1200 parity=even allowpid=yes maxtries=6 phone=5551212 maxmsgsize=230 maxpages=5 pager=pagerone pagerid=5552121 service=foobarpagerco 3) /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qpage.sh start Opening the modem device will fail and the daemon won't start. >Fix: Since some people probably use this as only an SNPP client instead of talking to a modem directly, in which case 'daemon' is OK... maybe a QPAGE_USER knob that could be set in /etc/make.conf? Otherwise, extend /usr/ports/comms/qpage/files/patch-config.h.in to change 'daemon' to 'uucp' on line 26 of the original file. --- patch-config.h.in Sat Jan 10 03:48:29 2004 +++ /tmp/qpage-patch-patch Tue Feb 10 01:09:56 2004 @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ ---- config.h.in.orig Sat Jan 10 00:42:55 2004 -+++ config.h.in Sat Jan 10 00:43:14 2004 -@@ -17,7 +17,7 @@ +--- config.h.in.orig Sun Jul 26 15:38:35 1998 ++++ config.h.in Tue Feb 10 01:07:25 2004 +@@ -17,13 +17,13 @@ #undef SNPP_SERVER_FILE /* Define as the location of the qpage configuration file. */ @@ -9,3 +9,10 @@ /* Define as the location of the lock directory. */ #undef DEFAULT_LOCKDIR + + /* Define as the user the qpage daemon runs as. */ +-#define DAEMON_USER "daemon" ++#define DAEMON_USER "uucp" + + /* Define as the syslog facility used to log messages (i.e. LOG_DAEMON). */ + #define SYSLOG_FACILITY LOG_DAEMON >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
