Having seen that in another topic, made me wonder about something I'm
doing.  My /etc/rc.local file has a string of lines in it like the
following:  su tim -c "/usr/bin/fetchmail -d 900"

Should I be doing it like this, instead:
su - tim -c "/usr/bin/fetchmail -d 900"

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
