i loged in with normal user but same problem

 


fetchmail -v -f /root/fetchctl -a --ssl -Z 554 -t 20 -S 127.0.0.1/2525

Error:
fetchmail: couldn't time-check the run-control file
fetchmail: lstat: /root/fetchctl: Permission denied 

 

i followed http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Fetchmail.

in this doc. i have not seen that prior to above command you have to login with 
no-root account.
