When I installed fetchmail-6.2.2.1, fetchmail started refusing to
use my .fetchmailrc. I think the requirement that permissions be
600 on it is new.
However when I tried chmodding it to 600, it stays at 644
greg@7106 ~
$ ls -al .fetchmailrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 greg unknown 864 Feb 17 06:54 .fetchmailrc
greg@7106 ~
$ umask 000
greg@7106 ~
$ chmod 600 .fetchmailrc
greg@7106 ~
$ ls -al .fetchmailrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 greg unknown 864 Feb 17 06:54 .fetchmailrc
greg@7106 ~
$ umask 777
greg@7106 ~
$ chmod 600 .fetchmailrc
greg@7106 ~
$ ls -al .fetchmailrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 greg unknown 864 Feb 17 06:54 .fetchmailrc
