/etc/rc in both 6.3B and 6.4R (and probably other releases) always
rebuilds the sendmail aliases file at reboot time.  This seems
unnecessary, and is a real problem on machines with large aliases
files.  It takes scarecrow 2 hours to reboot when it rebuilds my local
copy of the mailhub aliases file...
