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/post-
       fix/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).
