i was thinking about it: only case when alias add/delete/rename is usefull is when add a new sensor or replacing a damaged or move a sensor from a bedroom to another
maybe we need three commands: add = add alias to a sensor remove = remove alias from a sensor rename = change alias from a sensor (maybe add, and after delete, check that we need 2 or more alias per device) ideas -> maybe we can have 2 or more alias to same sensor, for example we remove a bedroom sensor (temperature) because another sensor give the same value (maybe near sensor in a test) with this we could rename alias without changing clients configuration (ownet or another client) i think it is maybe a alias_file in root of owfs is nice to reload many sensors in one write like: echo new_alias > ow_fs_root/alias_file or read all alias cat ow_fs_root/alias_file > today_alias_file_backup nice?! i don't know if we will have problems with writing to alias_files (maybe we will have 1MB file! could owserver network protocol support it?) that's all 2011/3/31 Paul Alfille <paul.alfi...@gmail.com>: > Interesting string. > > I was concerned about the security implications of allowing alias writing. > Writing will rename objects and perhaps confuse data collection.
