>Description:
	Our install systems fail to run "newaliases" during
install. This results in lots of odd error messages from sendmail
caused by the lack of any aliases database files.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Install a machine, note that there is no /etc/aliases.db
>Fix:
	There are two ways to handle this: have the install systems
run newaliases, or have sendmail autorebuild the aliases file. The
latter seems frowned upon these days, for whatever reason.
