Name
       MAKEHOSTS - make symbolic links to hosts

Syntax
       /usr/hosts/MAKEHOSTS

Description
       The command creates symbolic links to the command for each of the hosts
       as defined in the file.	If the file does not exist, then  the  command
       creates	the links for each of the hosts listed in the local file.  The
       resulting symbolic links populate the directory.

       The symbolic links are a convenience that allows users to type the name
       of  a  remote  host on the network to log into that host.  For example,
       the following command logs you into a remote host called
       # chicago
       If you do not create the symbolic links, you must use  the  command  to
       log  into  a remote host.  For example, to log into a remote host named
       type:
       # rlogin chicago
