Presumably, you have a direct link to psuvax1? If so, run the output
of pathalias through the following:
sed 's/^I[^^I]*!psuvax1!/^Ipsuvax1!/'
(The ^I's are tab characters.)
All it does is strip off the prefix of the path to psuvax1.

I'd like to mark psuvax1 as dead in my maps, but then if any paths end up with psuvax1 in them, I'd like to have the path start with psuvax1. Here's the situation: psuvax1 munges my uucp mail in an unacceptable way (at least it used to), so I mark it as dead. I have a connection using uucp over tcp/ip with lll-winken, and all my mail goes out that way. Unfortunately, my path to psuvax1 is now psuvax1 lll-winken!ames!think!bloom-beacon!garp!psuvax1!%s and hosts which are only reachable through psuvax1 use this path as well. I want to get rid of the lll-winken!ames!think!bloom-beacon!garp, but not to route anything more through psuvax1 than I have to. Any suggestions? Bill

You'll kick yourself... just use sed to delete the leading crap. sed 's/ [^ ]*!psuvax1/psuvax1/' mypaths >betterpaths My makefile for paths does quite a bit of stuff like this, for just the same reason. bill davidsen (davidsen@crdos1.crd.GE.COM) {uunet | philabs}!crdgw1!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me

Both of you (prepare to kick yourselves) go read up pathalias manual pages and "discover" what does the <node-name> notation mean (now go ahead and kick). The real answer is: <psuvax1>(whatever-the-applicable-cost) e.g. <psuvax1>(DIRECT) ----- huver ...!uunet!amgraf!huver
