           Summary: fetchmail setup completely broken in 10.2
           Product: openSUSE 10.2
           Version: Alpha 4 plus
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Basesystem
        AssignedTo: sbrabec@xxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: ro@xxxxxxxxxx
         QAContact: qa@xxxxxxx


fetchmail was changed to run as non-root, which is nice, but now it does
not work anymore at all.

in the init-script, FETCHMAILHOME needs to be set, otherwise fetchmail
will try to write as user fetchmail into /root/.fetchids and one or
more other files.

The init-script tries to make fetchmail log into /var/log/fetchmail,
a file that does not exist and the user fetchmail can not create files
in /var/log -> that file should probably be %ghost and created in the
package's post-script.

The yast2 configuration for fetchmail does still create the file
/etc/fetchmailrc with owner "root", which will not work anymore either.
