Most folks responded that HDB does not have a seven character limit, the
problem was most likely in my Systems file, and that there was no way to
do the aliasing in question. However, Joe Pruett (tessi!joey@nosun.West)
responded:
in the Permissions file, put ALIAS=goldmin on the MACHINE=goldmine line
So, I have the line:
LOGNAME=Ugoldmin MACHINE=goldmine ALIAS=goldmin COMMANDS=rmail:uucp REQUEST=yes
SENDFILES=yes
in my Permissions file, and the problem has disappeared. Whether this is
a feature in HDB, or a sun oddity, I don't know, but I certainly couldn't
find mention of it in any docs.
