These details could be included by yourself as a user comment. If you do (and I hope you do as it may lead others to do the same in the future), please provide a little more information on the second point, as in what the special directive is and how it should be set (and where). The articles on MandrakeSecure are not a be-all/end-all thing... I'm sure there is a lot more information that could have been provided than just these two points. To me, the first point is a given; a chrooted postfix would need the sasl database within the chroot for it to be useful, which would require a user to rebuild/reconfigure cyrus-sasl to a new path that is within the chroot. To me, this was self-explanatory. The second, however, is a good point. I leave it to you to make the necessary user comment on that article. =) -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ "lynx - source http://linsec.ca/vdanen.asc | gpg --import" {FE6F2AFD: 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
