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?
I don't use the system fetchmail as such, but use fetchmail as <user> with ~/.fetchmailrc which contains passwords for the remote servers accessed. ~/.fetchmailrc # Configuration created Sun Dec 28 14:56:16 2001 set logfile "/home/<user>/logs/fetchmail.log" set postmaster "<user>" set no bouncemail set no spambounce # set properties "v" set daemon 150 ### RoadRunner account ### poll pop-server.indy.rr.com tracepolls with proto POP3 timeout 60 user '<user>' there with password '<passwd>' is '<user>' here options fetchall stripcr mda '/usr/lib/sendmail -i -oem -f %F %T' .... and several others. then: fetchmail -d -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
