what does sendmail have to do with the aliases? I am not sure, but source may not be your only solution. Also, if you're getting the default aliases file back, I think bash creates that with other files in ~, when you start it if it's not there already. This is at login, or after I should say, when the shell is invoked. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gaijin" <gaijin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, June 23, 2007 9:35 PM Subject: Slackware 11 aliases, anyone? > Hi again all, > > Well, Slack11 is working great.
