SuSE offers a script 'SuSEconfig.postscript', which
in part contains 'examples/chroot-setup/LINUX2':
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
mkchroot(){
  cd /var/spool/postfix

  if [ ! -d etc ]; then
    echo "Setting up chroot-environment..."
    mkdir etc
  fi

  cp -f /etc/host.conf etc > /dev/null 2>&1
  cp -f /etc/hosts etc > /dev/null 2>&1
  cp -f /etc/resolv.conf etc > /dev/null 2>&1
  cp -f /etc/services etc > /dev/null 2>&1

  cp -f /etc/localtime etc > /dev/null 2>&1

  chown -R postfix /var/spool/postfix > /dev/null 2>&1
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And SuSE has patched 'conf/master.cf':
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-smtp inet n - n - - smtpd
+smtp inet n - y - - smtpd
 pickup fifo n n n 60 1 pickup
 cleanup unix - - n - 0 cleanup
-qmgr fifo n - n 300 1 qmgr
-rewrite unix - - n - - trivial-rewrite
-bounce unix - - n - 0 bounce
-defer unix - - n - 0 bounce
-smtp unix - - n - - smtp
+qmgr fifo n - n 5 1 qmgr
+rewrite unix - - y - - trivial-rewrite
+bounce unix - - y - 0 bounce
+defer unix - - y - 0 bounce
+smtp unix - - y - - smtp
 showq unix n - n - - showq
 error unix - - n - - error
 local unix - n n - - local

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have now changed the 'y' in both 'smtp' lines
back to 'n'. And 'postfix-19991231.tar.gz' runs again.
I hope, this 'n' is not dangerous.
