            Bug ID: 258207
           Summary: mail/fetchmail does not restart properly with "service
                    -R"
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any

When issuing "service -R" fetchmail stops, but never restart: "fetchmail:
lstat: /root/.fetchids: Permission denied" is printed.
"service fetchmail restart" works.

This is due to a difference in how the service command works:
_ with -R it sets HOME=/root
_ without -R it sets HOME=/

I'm in doubt if this is a service (base system) bug or feature.
In any case a simple workaround is to add "export HOME=/" in the first lines of
fetchmail RC startup script.
