       L.aliases - UUCP hostname alias file

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       The  _L_._a_l_i_a_s_e_s  file  defines mapping (aliasing) of system
       names for uucp.  This is  intended  for  compensating  for
       systems  that  have changed names, or do not provide their
       entire machine name (like most USG systems).  It  is  also
       useful  when  a  machine's name is not obvious or commonly
       misspelled.

       Each line in _L_._a_l_i_a_s_e_s is of the form:

            real_name alias_name

       Any amount of  whitespace  may  separate  the  two  items.
       Lines beginning with a `#' character are comments.

       All  occurrences  of _a_l_i_a_s___n_a_m_e are mapped to _r_e_a_l___n_a_m_e by
       _u_u_c_i_c_o(8C),  _u_u_c_p(1),  and  _u_u_x(1).   The  mapping  occurs
       regardless  of  whether the name was typed in by a user or
       provided by a remote site. An exception is the  --ss  option
       of  _u_u_c_i_c_o;  only  the  site's  real hostname (the name in
       _L_._s_y_s(5)) will be accepted there.

       Aliased system names should not be placed in  _L_._s_y_s;  they
       will not be used.
