If it knows the system at the end (or one of the systems along the list) it could just send it directly. I would rather see the fix put into a program that is allowed to look at L.sys, since it would be cheaper to read L.sys than to fork a uuname. Another problem here is that just because a link is in L.sys does not mean it is a working, cheap link.
