Not that I've figured out. You might be able to do something if the
username isn't matched locally, but you'll still need something to map
usernames to workstations if there's more than one workstation so I
don't think there's much saving over the alias file.

Blame this on the broken winsock. If it didn't do the wrong thing with
identd connects there wouldn't be a problem. The default of 60s might be
a bit much though, as Eudora also has a 60 second timeout.
