- As long as we're on the subject of finger, here's my three cents worth:
-
- 1) The OWNER field of the UAF entry that finger gets
- contains (at our site) a social security number
- as well as a "name". We'd like to be able to modify
- the finger source to print only the name, and strip
- the first nine characters (the sosh).
-
- 2) The plan file that finger prints _could very well_ contain
- nasties that wreak havoc with terminals that are looking
- for the right thing. I believe that filtering _this_
- information is what would be useful.
-
- Well, three cents won't buy what it used to, but there's my thoughts.
