     4<sect3><title>Config files</title>
    55
    6 <para>After the files are installed, the make install script enters into a
    7 configuration routine.  The first test will be for a group named fcron.  If
    8 it does not exist, you will be given the command line that the script proposes
    9 to run and a prompt for a 'y' or 'n'.  This is repeated to create a user named
    10 fcron and to install a script in the init.d directory with the appropriate
    11 symbolic links in runlevels 2, 3, 4, and 5.  The final configuration step is to
    12 stop any current fcron processes and start the new fcron.  A yes here will stop
    13 current fcron processes and will start the new fcron.  The following
    14 commands will overwrite the fcron script with one based upon the BLFS
    15 template:</para>

     7<filename>/etc/fcron.allow</filename>,

     5sendmail to run, but will use it if it is installed to email you the
     6results of the fcron script. If you wish to utilize this feature change
     7the switch to <command>--with-sendmail=/usr/sbin</command>.</para>

     13
     14<para><command>yes 'n' | make install</command> : After the files are
     15installed, the make install script enters into a configuration routine.
     16The first test will be whether to install a boot script in the <filename
     17class="directory">/etc/rc.d/init.d</filename> directory with the
     18appropriate symbolic links in runlevels 2, 3, 4, and 5. The second is to
     19stop any current fcron processes and start a new one. Since this is
     20probably your first install and we want a boot script based upon the
     21<acronym>BLFS</acronym> template we answer 'n' to both tests.</para>
