- Yowie zowie - GNU finger is really nice..
-
- One minor quibble:
-
- The ".free" special user is broken when this macro is defined.
-
- The test for 'wide' finger occurs *before* the test for the .free
-
- Here's the particulars:
-
- * The GNU Finger version and where you obtained the distribution.
-
- 1.3.7 - from a mirror of prep.ai.mit.edu
-
- * Changes you made to the GNU Finger configuration files.
-
- #define INFO_IS_DEFAULT /* */
-
- * Any changes you have made to the source code or installation
- procedures.
-
- Here is a patch to fix:
