Not really. The question was " What's the reason for moving /etc/mail/alias to the /etc directory?? Everything else is in /etc/mail. It hasn't been moved *to* the /etc directory, that is where it has always been. The following is an extract from "man newaliases" "Newaliases rebuilds the random access data base for the mail aliases file /etc/aliases. It must be run each time this file is changed in order for the change to take effect" Regards, Rob > > > On Sat, 2003-01-11 at 03:21, Rob Unsworth wrote: > > On Fri, 10 Jan 2003, Lucas Albers wrote: > > > > > I believe compatibility. > > > > Every version that I have used since 4.2 had/has /etc/aliases, so unless > > 7.3 (which I never installed) had /etc/mail/aliases, it hasn't been moved. > > > > > > Regards, > > Rob > > > > ******************************** > > > > Hi, > > > > > > > > What's the reason for moving /etc/mail/alias to the /etc directory?? > > > > Everything else is in /etc/mail. > > > > > > > > Thanks > > > > Kevin B ************************************** -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
