using individual user ~/.fetchmailrc files is probably a safer and preferred way to use fetchmail. Running it as root obviously brings risks which could potentially compromise the root account. Have you tried just changing the setting 'enable daemon=yes' in the file /etc/default/fetchmail and rebooting which should trigger the daemon anyway? Otherwise you could run a cron job to trigger the daemon and specify 'set daemon 300' for example in your ~/.fetchmailrc file.
