chroot jail.

[Erik Jakobsen]

Hi.

On my SuSE 8.2 system I'm trying to set up MailScanner. I have a file
called LINUX2 in the postfix examples directory it looks like this:

Is this the chroot jail file ?. Shall it be renamed ?:


#! /bin/sh

# LINUX2 - shell script to set up a Postfix chroot jail for Linux
# Tested on SuSE Linux 5.3 (libc5) and 7.0 (glibc2.1)

# Other testers reported as working:
#
# 2001-01-15 Debian sid (unstable)
