chroot has been removed in current packages (>= 2.0.6 postfix rpm) |
Description of problem: The virtual postfix configuration is set to chroot 'y'. This postfix service cannot (according to the documentation in /etc/postfix/master.cf) run as chroot 'y'. The result of this setting is that when someone tries to setup virtual mailbox delivery, it will not work. This is described in the file: /usr/share/doc/postfix-1.1.11/README_FILES/VIRTUAL_README Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): postfix-1.1.11-11 / Red Hat Linux 9.0 How reproducible: It's installed this way. :) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install the package. 2. Look at the /etc/postfix/master.cf file Actual results: The virtual service is listed as 'chroot' y: virtual unix - n y - - virtual Expected results: The virtual service does not run as 'chroot', so the installed configuration will never work! It should be: virtual unix - n n - - virtual Additional info: This is documented in /etc/postfix/master.cf file: # Chroot: whether or not the service runs chrooted to the mail queue # directory (pathname is controlled by the queue_directory configuration # variable in the main.cf file). Presently, all Postfix daemons can run # chrooted, except for the pipe, virtual and local delivery daemons. # The files in the examples/chroot-setup subdirectory describe how # to set up a Postfix chroot environment for your type of machine. #
