First a note:
I erroneously said that cook was a 670MP. Due to some technical difficulties
a SS2 was set up in it's place. Prior to this, the SS2 was a users
workstation.
Re: Problem 1 -
The fix for the cook.ny.jpmorgan.com host name configuration error
was related to an auto.direct mount of /var/spool/mail. Even though
/var/spool/mail was taken out of the map when the machine was
converted from a user workstation to a server, a symbolic link (mail) was left
in /var/spool pointing to nowhere. After removing the symlink and creating
mail as a directory in /var/spool, the problem went away.
Re: Problem 2 -
The mailhost had inconsistent versions of the /etc/aliases{.dir,.pag)
files. After examining the Makefile, only the aliases.{dir,pag} were
being copied to /etc. The problem went away after I copied in the
ascii version as well. I updated the Makefile to do this as part of the
aliases target.
