Aha!  Thanks.  The stock version builds OK, so ... onward to step 2!

In my install, the products end up in the same directory, rather than in =
/usr/obj.  I could presumably tweak that (MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX in the environ=
ment?), but will forbear to do so for the moment.

I note Michael's point about the config file format.  I do remember looki=
ng in the blacklistd source before, trying to understand how it was parse=
d (or indeed mis-parsed), and I recall that the parsing was a bit... magi=
c.

Best wishes,

Norman
