What were you trying to do?
I was trying to find the username for a new freshman
What's wrong:
I didn't retrieve what I wanted. Here's the interaction (I'm
looking for the username for "Carmen Berg", which is "cberg"):
<m11-116-6:~> nu? finger berg
Local:
Login name: berg In real life: ???
Athena-wide:
Login name: berg In real life: ???
but notice that her account really exists:
<m11-116-6:~> nu? finger cberg
Local:
Login name: cberg In real life: ???
Athena-wide:
Login name: cberg In real life: Carmen R Berg
Directory: /mit/cberg Shell: /bin/csh
Not currently locatable.
No Plan.
What should have happened:
Well, look what happens when I try it on myself:
<m11-116-6:~> nu? finger jackson

Now maybe the problem is that she isn't logged in, but that shouldn't
make a difference.
By the way, I understand that the finger @mit.edu info isn't updated
yet, but I thought that the simple finger @athena bypassed that.
