Namespace collision time again. There are two 'ssc' sites on the UUCP net,
Specialized Systems Consultants, Inc. in Seattle, and Silicon Solutions Corp
in Santa Clara, CA. Pyramid has a link to Silicon Solutions; Specialized
Systems has a link to tikal, the northwest backbone. So I'm seeing all kinds
of mail for tikal being bounced at Silicon Solutions....

Specialized Systems has a UUCP Map entry, so they've got rights to the name.
I'm removing ssc from our Map entry; sites using the pathalias data should do
likewise. If/when I can convince Silicon Solutions to change their hostname,
I'll publish an update. (sscvax is already taken by Boeing, also in Seattle of
all places....)
