RE: aliases problem

[Peter Ip <peter.ip@utoronto.ca>]

Neal,

Thanks for that suggestion - we are looking at it. The vacation command 
creates a .forward file. All our accounting is done via scripts, so we'd 
rather write or modify one aliases file, rather than many .forward files, 
or even worse fork+exec many vacation commands.

Peter
