What were you trying to do?
Finger t_blake@mit.edu (or any username with an underscore)
What's wrong:
The underscore is part of a username, but I guess it gets
interpreted as a first name of t and a last name of blake,
which is then unfound. Fingering booher@mit.edu (the same
person) works, however.
What should have happened:
It seems that there should be a special code path to
doublecheck whether a username containing an underscore
matches. Fingering t_blake@mit.edu should return Tim
Booher's finger information.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I talked to SIPB about this and they suggested I report a bug.
