TotalNET Advanced Server 5.2 Reference Manual

aliases

This attribute designates a list of service names that alias the given service in the LM-NT-OS/2 realm. Clients access the service through the aliases and the base name. Aliases must adhere to all the rules for legal service names in the realm and have the same service type as the base service. Each service name and alias can occur only once in the network. An alias name must not conflict with any service name or any other alias of any service. This facility can define a single LM-NT-OS/2 file service available under an ordinary name and as the default CIFS service--the one accessed when the client specifies an IP address instead of a DNS name. Do this by specifying the alias *smbserver:file for the service.
