I installed a sever with openSUSE 11.3 and we use fetchmail on it.

But when I try to start fetchmail, I get the following:
--<snip>--
#rcfetchmail start
Starting fetchmailfetchmail: can't find a password for
fetchmail@/var/log/fetchmail.
startproc: exit status of parent of /usr/bin/fetchmail: 3
--<snip>--

Any idea how to get the daemon to start?

/etc/sysconfig/fetchmail exists? Is it correct? Post it here, changing
passwords and logins.

Have a look at "/var/log/fetchmail".
