Description:   Opened: 2002-04-27 11:28 0000 
when receiving a call, mgetty looks for login.config. I get the error 
login: stat('/usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config') failed: No such file or directory 
emerge net-dialup/mgetty puts this file in /usr/local/mgetty+sendfax. 
I recompiled manually, (and used -DAUTO_PPP and prefix=/usr) and all is well

for some reason this wants to install tetex (~35MB) which i   
can't download right now (ISDN - takes forever)   
   
so, i won't be able to handle this one, sorry

ebuilds are not supposed to even touch /usr/local, so this is a bad thing in
general.  However, when I do qpkg -f /usr/local, mgetty does not show up.  I do
not see mgetty+sendfax in any directory except /etc.

Perhaps you might provide some more detail?

 Yes, that is the problem, mgetty (as installed) creates the default files in
/etc/mgetty+sendfax,  
but when the application executes (receives a call) the application looks in
/usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax  
for the configuration files.  They are not there.  They were created in
/etc/mgetty+sendfax.  
There are configuration parameters in the Makefile for where the application
looks for the configuration 
files.

Please try the -r4 ebuild and see if that sorts this.  It was the only mention
left of /usr/local anything in any of the compile time configurations...

------- Comment #5 From Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2002-05-03 02:00:51 0000 ------- 
Well, did the new -r4 ebuild behave as you expected it to?

------- Comment #6 From Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2002-05-20 18:43:08 0000 ------- 
What's news on this, Keith?  Problem solved?

------- Comment #7 From Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2002-05-21 09:14:30 0000 ------- 
Closing this bug report, as I have had no report for over 2 weeks on its
breakages.
