The invoked fetchmail expects to find its configuration in
/etc/fetchmailrc, and must include the proper "interface" directive.
-### debian_rc:
-
-A fetchmail boot-time init file compatible with Debian. It leaves
-fetchmail in background to get messages when you connect to your ISP.
-The invoked fetchmail expects to find its configuration in
-/root/.fetchmailrc, and must include the proper "interface" directive.
-
-Matthias Andree adds: note that current Debian packages (as of January
-2007) ship with their own init files.

### start_dynamic_ppp:
An admittedly scratchy ip-up script that Ryan Murray wrote to cope with
+++ /dev/null
-#!/bin/sh
-#
-# To start fetchmail as a system service, copy this file to
-# /etc/init.d/fetchmail and run "update-rc.d fetchmail
-# defaults". A fetchmailrc file containg hosts and
-# passwords for all local users should be placed in /root
-# and should contain a line of the form "set daemon <nnn>".
-#
-# To remove the service, delete /etc/init.d/fetchmail and run
-# "update-rc.d fetchmail remove".
