Q. Linux: sandbox services with systemd
A. Add an `override.conf` file for the service.
I went through the man page and considered each of the (many) possible
options for some services I use and understand.
You can see and the files and instructions here:
https://github.com/dmdmdm/systemd_overrides
The overrides improved score from `systemd-analyze security <service>`.
Examples:
Postfix when from an a score of 7.9 (Exposed) to 2.6 (OK).
Apache (httpd) when from 9.2 (Unsafe) to 2.7 (OK).
Samba (smb) when from 9.6 (Unsafe) to 2.5 (OK).
Other services showed similar improvements.
I hope they are useful to somebody.
