Combining MACHINE and LOGNAME Entries for UUCP

You can combine MACHINE and LOGNAME entries into a single entry when the common options are the same. For example, the two sets of entries that follow share the same REQUEST, READ, and WRITE options:

MACHINE=eagle:owl:hawk REQUEST=yes \ 
READ=/ WRITE=/

and

LOGNAME=uupz REQUEST=yes SENDFILES=yes \ 
READ=/ WRITE=/

You can merge these entries, as shown:

MACHINE=eagle:owl:hawk REQUEST=yes \ 
logname=uucpz SENDFILES-yes \ 
READ=/ WRITE=/

Combining MACHINE and LOGNAME entries makes the Permissions file more manageable and efficient.
