I've never needed to.  I run fetchmail out-of-the-box as a daemon with
the fechmailrc in /etc (no-per-user fetchmail).   It just works.

What errors do you get?  Send us your fetchmailrc (with the password and
other sensitive things XXX'd out.  Also, ensure that
/etc/default/fetchmail has START_DAEMON=yes.
