i'm deploying a postfix server, using distr-pkg'd postfix to date, i've always/only used postfix that i've built/installed to my liking.
i prefer to keep my configs under /usr/local/etc/postfix. my postfix is config'd/built with config dir == /usr/local/etc/postfix. so its bins (postconf, postfix, postsuper, etc etc) are are, by default, pointed to that config path. distro pkgs are built with, typically, default config location == /etc/postfix. similarly, its bins are pointed to THAT config path. i simply want to ensure that the distro-pkg's bins get pointed to my configs in /usr/local/etc/postfix. two simple ways to do that are (1) ln -sf /usr/local/etc/postfix /etc/postfix (2) shell alias each bin with "... -c /usr/local/etc/postfix", or shell-script-wrap in /usr/local/bin each postfix-bin, doing the same. Is either (1) or (2) preferred for any reason? Or is there a better way to accomplish this?
