alias configuration file
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The optional
|
|
.Nm
|
|
file is used to provide aliases that can be fingered by local
|
|
and network users.
|
|
This may be useful where a user's login name is not the same
|
|
as their preferred mail address, or for providing virtual login names
|
|
than can be fingered.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Lines beginning with ``#'' are comments.
|
|
Other lines must consist of an
|
|
alias name and a target name separated by a colon.
|
|
A target name should be either a user, a forward
|
|
reference to another alias or the path of a world readable file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Where an alias points to a file, the contents of that file will be displayed
|
|
when the alias is fingered.
