.fetchmailrc



Hi all,

After a heavy couple of hours reading man fetchmail I came up with this
.fetchmailrc:

set postmaster "patrick"
poll pop.dial.pipex.com with proto POP3
       user "maxy36" there with password "ngookich" is patrick here options
fetchall
warnings 3600

But I get this message when I try to run it.

rhino:~# fetchmail
File /root/.fetchmailrc must have no more than -rwx--x--- (0710)
permissions.

Also, after chown 0710 I get

rhino:~# ls -al .fetchmailrc
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root          164 Jul 12 15:51 .fetchmailrc

What am I doing wrong?

Patrick
