- I confine the userids to their respective systems. Waffle users have
- theirs and shell users have theirs. If the shell user wants to use
- Waffle for mail (and that's not as uncommon as one might think), then
- I alias them like:
-
- shelluser "| /waffle/bin/mailin shelluser"
-
- cron takes care of:
-
- cd /waffle/admin
- .../bin/wafalias >aliases.now
- sort -u aliases.now >aliases.out
- cat aliases.1 aliases.out >/etc/aliases
- newaliases
-
- aliases.1 is a list of the 'fixed' aliases. Kludgy, but it works.
