Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.4-6
Severity: normal

I need to give a client certificate to my server. If my private key is encrypted fetchmail only asks for my password at the server but not for my private key passphrase. The log file says:
        Enter PEM pass phrase:
but fetchmail is already in the background. The man page says for sslkey "This can cause some complications in daemon mode.”, but in which situations will this work in daemon mode? I never found one.

I would prefer a fix of fetchmail to ask for all passwords before going into background, or at least the man page should be updated to say, that this will never work.

Shade and sweet water!
