/*
* This routine takes an alias for a host name and returns the first
* field, lower case, of its domain name. For example, if "menel" is
* an alias for host officially named "menelaus" (in /etc/hosts), for
* the host whose official name is "MENELAUS.MIT.EDU", the name "menelaus"
* is returned.
*
* This is done for historical Athena reasons: the Kerberos name of
* rcmd servers (rlogin, rsh, rcp) is of the form "rcmd.host@realm"
* where "host"is the lowercase for of the host name ("menelaus").
* This should go away: the instance should be the domain name
* (MENELAUS.MIT.EDU). But for now we need this routine...
*
* A pointer to the name is returned, if found, otherwise a pointer
* to the original "alias" argument is returned.
