Description Chris Ricker 2002-09-16 18:34:35 UTC 
RHL 7.3 shipped with postfix chroot()ed to /var/spool/postfix, necessitating
inclusion of libraries and config files copied into that jail.

On upgrade from 7.3 to postfix-1.1.11-5, the chroot jail is not updated.  From
my postfix startup messages:

Sep 14 18:28:40 hanuman postfix/postfix-script: stopping the Postfix mail system
Sep 14 18:28:40 hanuman postfix/master[662]: terminating on signal 15
Sep 14 23:56:13 hanuman postfix/postfix-script: warning: /var/spool/postfix/etc/
services and /etc/services differ

Sep 14 23:56:14 hanuman postfix/postfix-script: warning: /var/spool/postfix/lib/
libnss_wins.so and /lib/libnss_wins.so differ
Sep 14 23:56:14 hanuman postfix/postfix-script: warning: /var/spool/postfix/lib/
libdb-3.3.so and /lib/libdb-3.3.so differ
Sep 14 23:56:14 hanuman postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system
Sep 14 23:56:14 hanuman postfix/master[731]: daemon started

In particular, failure to update the libraries caused weird hanging connections.
 After manually copying the newer files in place, everything works.

This has since been fixed -- didn't see this going from 8.0 -> 9
