Previously it would show all matching accounts. >How-To-Repeat: Create 10 accounts on a machine with "Smith" as the user's last name, then "finger smith". On 4.1-STABLE, only the first match in the passwd file will be shown. On 4.1-RELEASE, all 10 will be shown. >Fix: Have not tried to make a patch yet. From doing a quick diff between the 4.1-R and 4.1-S versions it appears to be related to the finger.conf changes in finger.c, in the general vicinity of line 300. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
