What's wrong:
The online directory has information that is a full year
out of date; much of the "current" information is
inaccurately transcribed.
What should have happened:
The correct finger information should have been read
(a long time ago) from the chfn database, and displayed
in response to finger inquiries.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
