I figured there are workarounds to the alias problem, but I think Ipswitch
needs to make it so you can add, edit, delete aliases, not have to call up
adduser from the command proimpt. I am sure I could do something like that
in ColdFusion, but that still wouldn't be as good as if ipswitch made the
alias a different way.
