Hi, I'm a newbie to linux and I've finally got fetchmail & qmail to
work. However I would like fetchmail to run as non-root. I've read
the FAQ and it says to copy the .fetchmailrc into /etc

Dunno about this copying of .fetchmailrc to /etc, but what's wrong with
running (as a user): fetchmail -f /some/dir/fetchmailrc ?
