Lines: 19 We're running MMDF here at U of MD, and I added a dbm-based pre-expanded alias file to submit to speed it up. I have essentially the same thing (print out the aliases file from the dbm version), but it's built into the new "newaliases" as the -l option. Maybe that should become standard? (-l is for "list", by the way.) There is one problem -- the expanded version of the alias file is *much* larger than the original, because of things like msgs:msgs_local,... msgs_local:/usr/local/post system 7@shell,... and would need to be compressed after regeneration. - Chris -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci UUCP: {seismo,allegra,brl-bmd}!umcp-cs!chris CSNet: chris@umcp-cs ARPA: chris.umcp-cs@UDel-Relay
