Trying to figure out how to configure it for multiple users. By default CentOS doesn't have a daemon setup if you want to do this.
I think fetchmail by design wasn't intended to run for anything but a single user and you can run many instances for many users.
True. I think my problem in this regard is that I used SuSE for a couple years and they setup fetchmail as a daemon so I thought this was kosher. But now that I think about it...
Anyway, I only want to run it for two people. Would I just run both of them in daemon mode?
---- yes - simply put their configs in each of their $HOME/.fetchmailrc
probably add to /etc/rc.d/rc.local su - craig -c 'fetchmail' & su - preston -c 'fetchmail' &
# cat /home/craig/.fetchmailrc defaults set daemon 180 set postmaster craig set nospambounce set nobouncemail set logfile /home/craig/fetchmail.log poll mail10.alevelhigher.com proto imap localdomains azapple.com user "MY_USERNAME" pass "MY_PASS batchlimit 25
YMMV
