.TH "postfix-nochroot" "8" .SH "NAME" postfix-nochroot \- change /etc/postfix/master.cf to not use chroot .SH "SYNOPSIS" .PP \fBpostfix-nochroot\fR .SH "DESCRIPTION" .PP Renames /etc/postfix/master.cf to /etc/postfix/master.cf.bak and creates a new /etc/postfix/master.cf file with every service configured to not use chroot. Every modified line is commented. It also restarts Postfix (to apply the change) and rmoves the unused chroot directories /var/spool/postfix/{etc,lib,usr} . .PP Using a chroot environment makes upgrades more difficult and gets in the way when running SE Linux (without actually providing any security benefit in a SE Linux system). .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR selinux (8), .BR sestatus(8), .BR selinuxenabled (1), .BR check-selinux-installation(8), .BR selinux-config-enforcing(8), .BR selinux-policy-upgrade(8), http://wiki.debian.org/SELinux \- More about SELinux Debian install, http://etbe.coker.com.au/tag/selinux/ \- Russell's SE Linux blog posts, http://etbe.coker.com.au/2008/08/02/postfix-and-chroot/ \- post about this script. .SH "AUTHOR" .PP This program and it's man page was written by Russell Coker for the \fBDebian\fP system (but may be used by others).
