Hi Derek, I'm running 9 with kernel 2.4.19-24, with postfix installed (but not 
running) and I seem to have the sym links that you make mention of. My cron.daily 
seems to be working OK.

In /usr/share/man/man5 I have a symlink called "aliases.5.bz2", and in 
/usr/share/man/man1 I have symlinks "mailq.1.bz2" and "newaliases.1.bz2" 
The links point to, respectively:
/etc/alternatives/mta-aliasesman
/etc/alternatives/mta-mailqman
/etc/alternatives/mat-newaliasesman

Could you have missed an update perhaps?

Regards.
