You missed Gordon's point. Make senduuname mail your current pathalias map
entry. What you choose to have in your L.sys/Systems file can be your own
business. Having a way of automatically collecting pathalias data can only
make the paths your neighbors choose more correct.

With the problems we've been experiencing getting a reasonable facsimile
of accurate data out of mod.map in the Bay Area, I wish everyone converted
senduuname to do what Gordon has suggested.
