patch to fix startup script; gets passwd file into jailcell.
This patch automatically puts the /etc/passwd file into the postfix jailcell.
This way local users can actually get delivery on e-mail.
Postfix as supplied by Red Hat no longer runs in a chroot jail. The additional security provided by the chroot jail was not justified by the problems it created, as you have pointed out. Even the postfix author no longer recommends a chroot jail. I suggest you upgrade to the current postfix package (2.0.11-4) which you can find on ftp.redhat.com. |
