>Description:
The startup script for the fetchmail port describes the use of a variable fetchmail_user (when running as a system-wide daemon). However, the value that is assigned to that variable in /etc/rc.conf is never used.
>How-To-Repeat:
In /etc/rc.conf:
  fetchmail_enable="YES"
  fetchmail_user=someuser

Then run
  /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fetchmail start

Using "ps axu", observe that the fetchmail process is owned by user fetcmail rather than someuser.
