Fetchmail - Permission error
Hi,
I am trying to setup fetchmail to retrieve my mail on an ODMR server at my ISP. I have created a fetchmailrc file containing the following text under the /etc folder : set daemon 60 set syslog poll mail.myisp.co.za with protocol ODMR via 196.(isp ODMR ip) timeout 900 username "USERNAME" with password "PASSWORD fetchdomains MYDOMAIN stphost 127.0.0.2 I then launch the following command from /usr/bin "fetchmail -f /etc/fetchmailrc" I get the following error message " file /etc/fetchmailr must have no more than -rwx--x--- (0710) permissions Can anyone please point me in the right direction ? Thanks |

permissions are too open. Set the permissions: chmod 0600 fetchmailrc It looks like this is just for you so I can't see any reason to have the file in /etc. You should have it in your home directory as ".fetchmailrc" and do away with calling the file directly from the command line. But if you have a reason to put it in /etc, do as you will. |
