We maintain a common /usr/lib/aliases on one machine and propagate updates to other machines by cd /usr/lib rcp aliases* othermachine:/usr/lib Sometimes after doing this, sendmail on othermachine warns that the "database is out of date"; ie, aliases is newer (st_mtime) than aliases.pag. csh sorts expanded filenames alphabetically, and rcp handshakes (ga/response) between file transfers. Any ideas why the st_mtime's don't reflect the order of transfer? Maybe it has something (everything) to do with aliases.pag on othermachine sometimes being in use during the transfer?
