UUCP MACHINE Entry for OTHER

You might want to specify different option values for remote machines that are not mentioned in specific MACHINE entries. The need might arise when many computers are calling your host, and the command set changes from time to time. The name OTHER for the computer name is used for this entry as shown in this example:


MACHINE=OTHER \ 
COMMANDS=rmail:rnews:/usr/local/Photo:/usr/local/xp 

All other options that are available for the MACHINE entry can also be set for the computers that are not mentioned in other MACHINE entries.
