This is useless, because:

The chroot setting defaults to yes, so a 'y' does not need to be 
explicitly set.

All those dashes represent the specified defaults for that column.

There's no need to run Postfix in a chroot jail. You are better off 
disabling chroot entirely (explicitly with an 'n' in master.cf).
