Although fetchmail running as normal user it is forbidden from accessing files in user's ~ according to this bugzilla entry: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=520765 . So in /etc/init.d/fetchmail script I had to run fetchmail as runcon -t unconfined_t fetchmail ... So now it starts automatically on bootup. I didn't expect this to be SELinux since I didn't see the "starfish". fetchmail init script was sending error message to dev/null and when I removed that I saw in /var/log/boot.log that there were permission problem on fetchmail accessing the ~/.fetchmailrc files, which didn't make sense since fetchmail runs as user. This same script worked fine circa fc3 or 4. -gene -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
