I haven''t had the problems that your describing on centos4 I built my rpm from the centos4 source-rpm and enabled mysql but that shouldn''t make a difference. Is there anything else you can tell us? What does an strace yield when the rpm hangs? (strace rpm -Uhv postfix-x.x.x.rpm). Any additional info would be helpful.

I was able to get it installed by tweaking my /etc/nsswitch.conf file and removing ldap for shadow, passwd and group. Something about postfix installation wanting to add the postfix user was not sitting well with the PAM configuration in system-auth.
