There is one: /etc/fetchmailrc, and let it run as root. It is described in the README.Debian, and a default ip-up script that will work even if you have a ppp link and a local LAN is there as well. It is NOT the optimal setup, though. It is a setup that won't fail in misterious ways (it does produce cosmetic problems, such as a failure to start fetchmail during bootup if you don't have a DNS resolver at that time). -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
