Well, some time ago there was a round of exchanges about this, right
here, with the "old" (2.1.42a) utils. touch /var/mheard/mheard.dat
creates an empty file. That is usable.
Once I used mheardd -f as a way to create the empty file. It worked
for me that way. You could also take a look at the archives of the
list.
I have not tried that with the new stuff, but I guess it shouldn't be
much different.
