Keywords: Help Pathalias Bug Mail Maps Message-ID: <727@cseg.uucp> Date: 22 Sep 88 04:56:02 GMT Organization: College of Engineering, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville Lines: 37 Hello NetLanders, I need some help. I am trying to set up our PathAlias map entry and am having trouble convincing PathAlias that one of our links is really low cost. The problem stems from this: PathAlias Input: cseg @hcx(LOCAL) hcx harry(DEMAND) The output looks like: (command 'pathalias -c') 0 cseg %s 25 hcx %s@hcx 100000325 harry harry!%s@hcx I have tried every way I know of to specify that the link from hcx to harry is low cost. I have even set all the costs at 0 and it still outputs the cost to harry as INFINITE! Is this a bug or do I just not understand something? The wierd thing about it is that If I tell pathalias that the link looks like cseg hcx(LOCAL) rather than cseg @hcx(LOCAL) then everything works fine! However, at the present I can't do this because I am sending from cseg to hcx via SENDMAIL and it REQUIRES the '@' syntax to be able to get mail to hcx. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I sent out a similar request about a week ago or more and have heard nothing back. Thank you (VERY MUCH) in advance. - David Summers (dws@cseg.uucp) (..!romed!cseg!dws)
