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.
