Hmm, have been trying to get my head around that one... The
Procmail man page doesn't have much on "permission" and
"ntsec" -- am I looking in the right place?

The binaries:
-rwxr-xr-x    1 tbaker   None        61952 Aug 19 16:41 /bin/procmail
-rwxr-xr-x    1 tbaker   None        61952 Aug 19 16:41 /usr/bin/procmail

$MAILDIR:
drwxr-xr-x   23 tbaker   None        32768 Oct 23 10:44 e:/uc

$PMDIR:
drwxr-xr-x    2 tbaker   None         4096 Oct 23 10:44 e:/u/procmail

Are these permissions set as they should be?

I closed all bash windows, put "export CYGWIN=nontsec" in
the profile, opened a bash window, verified with "echo $CYGWIN"
that it was indeed "nontsec", and tried Fetchmail again -- and,
as before, no Procmail log was initialized in $PMDIR, nor were
the recipes applied.

Before doing this test, however, I had captured the following 
permissions for the binaries:

-rwxrwxrwx    1 Administ    61952 Aug 19 16:41 /bin/procmail
-rwxrwxrwx    1 Administ    61952 Aug 19 16:41 /usr/bin/procmail

..showing them to belong to Administ instead of tbaker.

Tom
