according to man aliases the value of an alias can also be a command:
|command or "|exit 67"
when /etc/aliases contains a line like
somebody: |exit
augeas can parse it:
augtool> print /augeas/files/etc/aliases/
/augeas/files/etc/aliases
/augeas/files/etc/aliases/path = "/files/etc/aliases"
/augeas/files/etc/aliases/mtime = "1314790471"
/augeas/files/etc/aliases/lens = "@Aliases"
/augeas/files/etc/aliases/lens/info =
"/usr/share/augeas/lenses/dist/aliases.aug:21.12-.38:"
when the command is enclosed between double quotes, such as this
somebody: "|exit 67"
parsing fails:
augtool> print /augeas/files/etc/aliases/
/augeas/files/etc/aliases
/augeas/files/etc/aliases/path = "/files/etc/aliases"
/augeas/files/etc/aliases/mtime = "1314790678"
/augeas/files/etc/aliases/lens = "@Aliases"
/augeas/files/etc/aliases/lens/info =
"/usr/share/augeas/lenses/dist/aliases.aug:21.12-.38:"
/augeas/files/etc/aliases/error = "parse_failed"
/augeas/files/etc/aliases/error/pos = "1619"
/augeas/files/etc/aliases/error/line = "9"
/augeas/files/etc/aliases/error/char = "0"
/augeas/files/etc/aliases/error/lens =
"/usr/share/augeas/lenses/dist/aliases.aug:21.12-.38:"
/augeas/files/etc/aliases/error/message = "Iterated lens matched less than it
should"
