Hi!
I've tried google to find solution and I didn't get any answer,
so I'd like to ask you. I'm using Debian Potato and installed
fetchmail.
I made file /etc/fetchmail.conf and /etc/init.d/fetchmail, which
are below. Then I made links in rc*.d to fetchmail script,
and inittab sets default runlevel to 2.
The problem is that fetchmail doesn't start at boot and
I don't know why. I think that everything is configured OK,
because when I start it using command line fetchmail
works perfectly.
Please Help.
