Package: fetchmail Version: 6.3.8-10 Severity: minor Tags: patch Hi,
fetchmail's init.d script contains this "cryptic" comment: > # This script will NOT start or stop fetchmail if the /etc/fetchmailrc file > # does not exist or /etc/default/fetchmail is set to no. It's not really clear what is meant by "/etc/default/fetchmail is set to no". Instead this comment should explicitly state that setting the START_DAEMON variable in /etc/default/fetchmail to no will result in the script not starting fetchmail. A possible patch is attached.
