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? > I would check the permissions of $PMDIR, $PMDIR/procmail.log, and your > entire $MAILDIR tree.

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.
