My bad (or whatever the mea culpa phrase is these days). I've set the
"chroot" column to "n" for all of the entries, and now Postfix starts

Newbie question: do I care if any of these processes are not chrooted?
Why does the default master.cf file chroot some but not all of the
processes?

Thanks for all the help here.
