That's root - he owns it. This has nothing to do with Mutt. The thing is, fetchmail doesn't want anyone but the user invoking it to be able to tamper with (or I believe even read) its run control file, since it contains sensitive information such as mail account passwords in clear text. Just set more restrictive permissions - 0400 or 0600 - on it and you'll be fine. -- /"\ Michael Kjörling - michael@xxxxxxxxxxxx - SM0YBY QTH JO89XI ^..^ \ / OpenPGP: 3723 9372 c245 d6a8 18a6 36ac 758f 8749 bde9 ada6 \/ X World Wide Web: http://michael.kjorling.com/ / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign - Against HTML Mail, Proprietary Attachments
