I checked Joe Gross's http://www.procmail.net/tutorial/list.html
and found interesting reference to `ph' program. What is
it/where can it be found/how to use it? Joe's instruction below.
What is nickname in Unix? I've never heard of that before.
ph is a pretty University-centric application. It was started (I think)
at U of I back in the early '90s by Steven Dorner, then taken over by
Paul Pomes in later years. It has since spread to about 300 other sites
around the world.
http://www.uiuc.edu/cgi-bin/ph
is the U of I ph Web interface (with some info and links).
Here's a blurb from the man page:
The CCSO Nameserver could be considered a database containing in-
formation about people and things at the University of Illi-
nois. It is designed to be extremely flexible in what informa-
tion it keeps, and also to provide fast access to that informa-
tion. Currently, most of the information in it comes from the
University Student/Staff Directory (the phone book).
