[FreeBSD] Need solutions for a chrooted Postfix & Cron

[kilburn]

Quote:Try

mv /usr/local/etc/sasldb2 /var/spool/postfix/usr/local/etc/sasldb2
ln -s /var/spool/postfix/usr/local/etc/sasldb2 /usr/local/etc/sasldb2

+1 Should work (reason: you can not go from inside the chroot to the outside through a symlink, but you *can* access the chrooted files from the outside).

Quote:FreeBSD has a crontab for root under /var/cron/tabs/root.
So we need to change the name for the Cron-File from "ispcp" to "root" and copy them under /var/cron/tabs/root.

Directly copying files to /var/cron/tabs is not recommended. Additionally, /var/cron/tabs/root follows the "user crontab" format (you can not specify the user as which the command will be executed). Therefore, it would be better to use /etc/crontab (which is available in FreeBSD too). Now, what I don't know is if there's any command in there by default, so that if we replace the file something would be lost...
