Did exactly that (I know the /etc/aliases too well now to have to copy it over).

/usr/sbin/postfix reload. The documentation implies that this rebuilds
the aliases database. In reality it does not do so. (/usr/sbin/postfix is a shell
script similar to the ones in /etc/rc.d/init.d/).
Well, the redhat howto for postfix recommends uninstalling the sendmail rpm because of
conflicts.
Anyway, this is a custom compile because I want to get it to authenticate from LDAP
(OpenLDAP-2.0.7).
