.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).
