The FreeBSD man page I quoted from (prob. orig. from 4.2BSD or so) shows no such
restriction so you can have as many aliases as you wnat as and many entries as you

And if you have non-unique names or addresses, be prepared for surprises.
Address, "official name", aliases.
And as many as you want i'd say. It is just that an alias might be hidden and never
be found (if actually hidden). This is at least how i interpreted it.
Please clarify what you mean by "And as many as you want".
Do you man as many /aliases/ and / or as many /entries/ (lines) in the file?
