Hmmm,
ok, so leaving 1 link in /etc/rc2.d would stop fetchmail being installed
as a systemwide daemon. That's good, but I think you missed my question on
the file permission on /etc/fetchmailrc. It *is* set to owner root.root,
but upgrading fetchmail changes it to fetchmail.root. As I said, ISTR this
is a policy violation, isn't it?
