An a additional problem: there are some programs (dhcpcd pppd) that can change /etc/resolv.conf during runtime, so the change of the startup is not valid anymore. And, more problematic, postfix does not know of this changes. And btw: Wietse Venema highly recomends the use of chroot only to experienced users. > Buchan Martin -- ------------------------------------------------------------ H E L I X Gesellschaft f�r Software & Engineering mbH ------------------------------------------------------------ Hanauer Landstrasse 52 Telefon (069) 4789 35-30 60314 Frankfurt am Main Telefax (069) 4789 35-44 ------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.helix-gmbh.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------
