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).
