I confine the userids to their respective systems. Waffle users have
theirs and shell users have theirs. If the shell user wants to use
Waffle for mail (and that's not as uncommon as one might think), then
I alias them like:
shelluser "| /waffle/bin/mailin shelluser"
cron takes care of:
cd /waffle/admin
.../bin/wafalias >aliases.now
sort -u aliases.now >aliases.out
cat aliases.1 aliases.out >/etc/aliases
newaliases
aliases.1 is a list of the 'fixed' aliases. Kludgy, but it works.
