>Description:
The startup script /etc/rc.d/sendmail does not define start_precmd variable before calling run_rc_command and therefore the sendmail_precmd routing does not get called.
>How-To-Repeat:
If there is no /etc/mail/aliases.db the startup script is espected to create it using the newaliases command, it does not.
>Fix:
This little patch will fix it:
