	Appologies if this is a rehash of an old problem...

	I have loaded our aliases(5) map into the root domain aliases
directory (EG: 'niload aliases .. < /tmp/aliases').  However,
sendmail on the NeXT doesn't seem to recognize those entries as
aliases.

	Is there a quick fix or only hacks to get around this ?? I
don't want to run 'ypbind,' nor do I want to 'rdist' the alias
file to each machine.  Sendmail does pick up aliases in the local
netinfo domain (".") however.

	Thanks
