NAME¶
postfix-nochroot - change /etc/postfix/master.cf to not use chroot
SYNOPSIS¶
postfix-nochroot
DESCRIPTION¶
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} .
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).
