Extract of UUCP map entry (with bogus names substituted):
>#
>HOST host1(EVENING), host2(DIRECT), host3(DEMAND),
>#
># LAN addressed user@host
>#
>MAIN-ETHER = @{HOST, local1, local2}(LOCAL)
After having my last map update rejected because of 'invalid syntax',
I started looking through the UUCP maps to find out what was the accepted
way to show ethernet connected hosts to a UUCP relay machine. What I found
was that there are 5 basic ways that are used:
1. MAIN-ETHER = @{HOST, local1, local2}(LOCAL)
2. MAIN-ETHER = {HOST, local1, local2}(LOCAL)
3. MAIN-ETHER = {HOST, local1, local2}!(LOCAL)
4. MAIN-ETHER = {HOST, local1, local2}
5. Listing each local host as an entry (i.e. local1(LOCAL), local2(LOCAL)
The documentation is unclear about which ons is therefore correct (option 2?).
Any suggestions? What I want is to allow the rest of the world to find out
a route to hosts located on MAIN-ETHER (local1, local2, etc...).
