Hi Stu,
In addition to these I applied changes to the Makefile and PLIST.
In my testing late last year I found that faxgetty in HylaFAX 6.0.6 will
crash when receiving a facsimile when ECM is not negotiated during call
establishment. The same occurs in 6.0.7.
This problem seems to go way back to OpenBSD 6.1 and possibly 6.0 but I
didn't test that version. I did test with OpenBSD 5.9 and no problems
were experienced with it.
If you would like to discuss this further you may PM me.
To overcome the faxgetty crash I disabled compiler optimisation;

The changes to PLIST are:
1) Change the permissions of libdata/hylafax/etc/hfaxd.conf
2) Removed libdata/hylafax/etc/xferfaxlog
The reason behind removing xferfaxlog are two fold. Firstly, faxgetty
cannot update accounting records in this file due to the restrictive
permissions;
Feb 11 21:16:16 openbsd-78-amd64 FaxGetty[32794]: Error writing CALL
accounting record, dest=+61.REDACTED
Feb 11 21:18:24 openbsd-78-amd64 FaxGetty[32794]: Error writing RECV
accounting record, dest=+61.REDACTED
Secondly, this file will collect historical records over time. Should
the package need to be removed for some reason this file will go - I
believe that was my experience even though it had updated records in
this file after I changed the permissions. faxgetty creates this file if
it doesn't exists.
