L.ALIASES(8)					     L.ALIASES(8)

NAME
       L.aliases - UUCP hostname alias file

DESCRIPTION
       The  L.aliases  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.aliases 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 alias_name are mapped to real_name by
       uucico(8),  uucp(1),  and  uux(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  -s  option
       of  uucico;  only  the  site's  real hostname (the name in
       L.sys(5)) will be accepted there.

       Aliased system names should not be placed in  L.sys;  they
       will not be used.

FILES
       /etc/uucp/L.aliases
