I'm running fetchmail as mail:mail for integration with dovecot/postfix. It always recreates /var/run/fetchmail with fetchmail:fetchmail as owner. This way dovecot can not access the PID file. I always have to manually set the correct owner to mail:mail (while fetchmail runs correctly as mail:mail). These are the changes I made to init and conf: --- /usr/portage/net-mail/fetchmail/files/fetchmail.initd 2019-12-08 16:04:37.334388324 +0100 +++ /etc/init.d/fetchmail 2021-10-25 15:30:46.839368166 +0200 @@ -21,18 +21,17 @@ else fidfile=/var/lib/fetchmail/.fetchids fi - if [ ! -d ${piddir} ]; then - checkpath -q -d -o fetchmail:fetchmail -m 0755 ${piddir} || return 1 - fi + checkpath -q -d -o ${user}:${group} -m 0755 ${piddir} || return 1 } start() { checkconfig || return 1 ebegin "Starting ${RC_SVCNAME}" start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile ${pid_file} \ - --user fetchmail --exec /usr/bin/fetchmail \ + --user ${user} --exec /usr/bin/fetchmail \ -- -d ${polling_period} -f ${rcfile} \ - --pidfile ${pid_file} -i ${fidfile} + --pidfile ${pid_file} -i ${fidfile} \ + --logfile /var/log/fetchmail.log eend ${?} } --- /usr/portage/net-mail/fetchmail/files/fetchmail.confd 2019-12-08 16:04:37.334388324 +0100 +++ /etc/conf.d/fetchmail 2021-09-07 18:14:07.442781799 +0200 @@ -3,7 +3,10 @@ # Polling frequency in seconds # (fetchmail will daemonize and check for new mail at this interval) -polling_period="60" +polling_period="3600" # Directory where the pid file is kept pid_dir="/var/run/fetchmail" + +user="mail" +group="mail" Reproducible: Always
