fetchmail daemon startup script (for rc.subr) is not 4.x compatible. The problem is that the fetchmail.sh script tries to blindly call /etc/rc.subr, which is only available on 5.x and 6.x. This is incorrect; it needs to use %%RC_SUBR%% which will be expanded properly at patch or install-time. See line 49 of files/fetchmail.in for what I mean. :-) I've also cleaned up a typo in the Makefile. Fix: Apply the below patches. How-To-Repeat: Try to start /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fetchmail.sh on a 4.x box.
