But if I su to that user, then the process will not be allowed generate
outbound TCP traffic.
Example:
[root at hoth /root]# su - dburke-testing -c 'telnet text.iol.ie'
Trying 194.125.2.219...
<and it sits there forever. UserIPAccounting works very well :) >
Think I'll go down to route of a master fetchmailrc file that
gets generated from everyones induvidual files every hour (thanks paul!)
