In article <9210290314.AA11571@schoch.che.utexas.edu>
jwe@che.utexas.EDU (John Eaton) complains about several stuff, and
then suggests as an alternative to his first suggestion:

   If not that, then perhaps the ttylocs file should be allowed to
   include terminal information for more than one host.  Maybe something
   like:

     foo.bar.com:tty01	Foo Bar Plaza, Room 1009
     podunk.edu:tty03	Ivory Tower, B13

   This way, the file could be shared and include information for each
   tty for every host served.

I want to point out that that was the way the finger from the icsi
distribution worked (and I think finger 1.01 promised to work). In
addition, it inserted the comment field from the local /etc/ttytab or
equivalent if the ttylocs didn't have any information.

I liked that very much.
