Optical Astronomy Observatories, Tucson, AZ USA Lines: 13 After the new distribution of the uucp maps arrived I ran pathalias (the version that was distributed with the first release of the maps). The program proceeded to find that noao had no paths to anyone, not even its neighbors!! After a binary search, I found that when usa.il was included in the input, bad things happened. A perusal of usa.il revealed that the data for oddjob included an alias for noao (kpno = noao). Commenting out the offending line caused pathalias to hum along and give the expected results. Moral: don't have an alias for the local site! -- Steve Grandi, National Optical Astronomy Observatories, Tucson, AZ USA UUCP: {allegra,arizona,astrovax,decvax,hao,ihnp4,lbl-csam,seismo} !noao!grandi Arpa: noao!grandi@lbl-csam
