Matched with a pretty smart sendmail.cf at uunet.uu.net, this allows the the address aleytys.uu.net to work just fine. A very nice (and maybe undocumented) feature that a uunet connection provides for UUCP only sites. -- In Real Life: Internet: esj@beach.cis.ufl.edu Eric S.

There is a much better way of doing this and I would only resort to fudged link costs if uunet wouldn't change it's map for you. The correct way of handling this is to have uunet put aleytys into it's map thusly (is that a word?): uunet <aleytys>(DAILY) Which tells pathalias only to use the uunet <-> aleytys link when aleytys is the final destination. uunet already does this for a number of sites. -- Norman Soley - Data Communications Analyst - Ontario Ministry of the Environment UUCP: utgpu!ontmoh!------------\ VOICE: +1 416 323 2623 {attcan,utzoo}!lsuc!ncrcan!ontenv!norm ENVOY: N.SOLEY "ZIK ZAK -- We make everything you need and you need everything we make"
