why should i? i don't like user-daemons. i like daemons under the control

So write a script that, every N minutes, checks every $HOME for
updates to .fetchmailrc and then if necessary re-creates a central
.fetchmailrc.
Of course, then one malicious/stupid person can cause problems for
everybody. And one problematic remote server can cause delays for
everybody.
Having multiple fetchmail daemons is actually better. Yes, there's a
memory hit, but so what. You don't end up with a single point of
failure.
i don't get your point - if there's any, please tell.
Sebastian made as much of a point as you have. Maybe if you said what
real concern there is over multiple daemon's running - one as each
user who's fetching mail?
