Re: [suse-security] Problem with last Hylafax update (notify script)



Carlos - thanx for posting it to this list - I upgraded but since have not used
the server yet so I did not even notice it.

I like to confirm that this is a problem on SuSE 9.2 with hylafax-4.2.0-5.4 as
well - Rather then rolling back the whole update I have just restored the old
notify script to make it work again - have not had the time to look through the
changes yet to see why it breaks.

SuSE - please fix it...


Best regards
Hubba
