Hi, I was wondering about the following re fetchmail. I followed Suse's suggestion (multiple FAQs on their site plus what came with the software) about setting up fetchmail which seems to have it running as root or at least under root's auspices. On another machine I've got Libranet running, based on Debian. In setting up fetchmail, I got the following advice: "You can either set up fetchmail to run as root or as an unprivliged user. Running fetchmail as root is unsafe and Debian does not install this by default." Can anyone elaborate on the dangers Debian refers to; or say why Suse's How-To (http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/fetchmail.html) - which DOES point out that this is merely one way of many to set up fetchmail - seems to suggest that doing it under root is the simplest or easiest way? Thanks in advance, Nick
