751.4trailing slash and alias expansion...VAXUUM::KEEFEFri Apr 04 1997 15:3627
    This is an old note, but I still don't quite get this.
    
    On an NCSA server, in srm.conf, I've been putting a separate
    alias with and without the trailing slash:
    
    Alias /car    /usr/local/etc/etc/car
    Alias /car/   /usr/local/etc/etc/car/
    
    The second format is common from the books I've looked at, but 
    if you only use that then you can't reach /car 
    
    Also, do alias definitions in srm.conf expand in subsequent alias
    definitions? It doesn't seem so. For example:
    
    Alias  /info/           /usr/local/info/
    Alias  /info/pics/      /usr/local/info/pics/
                                   
    The second alias will not expand into:
    
                            /usr/local/usr/local/info/pics/
                                       --------------
                                       
    ..will it? Then, the alias definitions are independent of each other.
    I've been having trouble with an alias definition and want to rule 
    this out.
