Based on information in the latest uucp and usenet maps I believe there are two sites in the UUCP domain named 'tut'. Both belong to Universities: 1. Tampere University of Technology, Computer Systems Laboratory 2. New York University Courant Mathematics and Computing Laboratory Academic Computer Facility In the following output from 'uuhosts', mail path does not correspond with the descriptive information: UUCP mail path for tut: tut allegra!seismo!cmcl2!tut!%s UUCP mail host information for tut: #Name tut #System-CPU-OS pdp11-24 / unixV7 #Organization Tampere University of Technology, Computer Systems Laboratory #Contact Hannu-Matti Jarvinen #Electronic-Address tut!hmj #Telephone +358 31 162708 #Postal-Address P.O.Box 527, SF-33101 Tampere, Finland #Latitude-Longitude 23 deg 50 min E / 61 deg 26 min N #Remarks #Written-by mcvax!piet 841215 # tut taycs(DAILY) USENET news host information for tut: Name: tut Organization: Tampere University of Technology, Computer Science Laboratory Contact: Hannu-Matti Jaervinen Phone: +358 31 162708 Postal-Address: P.O.

Uuhosts naturally assumes uniqueness of names. I use the arguments "-d cmcl2!tut" with pathalias when I produce the routing information for ut-sally. That declares the New York tut dead and lets the Finnish tut show up. I do this because it appears to me that the Finnish tut has clear chronological precedence. This change makes getting to many hosts in Europe possible. A similar problem can be found in usa.nca, where the UC Berkeley Computer Center "rocks" machines are registered. The problem is that they are not only registered with their proper ucb prefixes, but there are also aliases for names without the prefixes, e.g.: topaz = ucbtopaz The name topaz is already registered for a host at Rutgers, and I seem to recall another duplicate with a host at U. Washington. (Also, the aliases are all backwards). The only solution I've found is to delete these aliases from usa.nca before running pathalias. -- John Quarterman, CS Dept., University of Texas, Austin, Texas 78712 USA jsq@ut-sally.ARPA, jsq@ut-sally.UUCP, {ihnp4,seismo,ctvax}!ut-sally!jsq
