User cws dropped by the SIPB office and noted that his finger information
contained a phone number that was not his own, and wondered how it got there:
Login name: cws In real life: Carl W Steinbach
Phone: 907-479-0201
Directory: /mit/cws Shell: /bin/athena/tcsh
Further investigation determined that his was not unique to him,
so it's unlikely his account was compromised:
Login name: bev In real life: Beverly A Thurber
Phone: 907-479-0201
Directory: /mit/bev Shell: /bin/athena/tcsh
Not currently locatable.
Login name: cwins In real life: Courteney Winslow
Phone: 907-479-0201
Directory: /mit/cwins Shell: /bin/athena/tcsh
Login name: mdh In real life: Matthew D Hancher
Phone: 970-927-9298
Directory: /mit/mdh Shell: /bin/athena/tcsh
Not currently locatable.
Login name: rashmik In real life: Rashmi Khare
Phone: 970-927-9298
Directory: /mit/rashmik Shell: /bin/athena/tcsh
(It even appears to be bucketted somehow, at least based on the above
sampling).
Carl also noted that an acquaintance of his didn't have this "feature":
Login name: bac In real life: Benjamin A Chambers
Directory: /mit/bac Shell: /bin/athena/tcsh
Not currently locatable.
No Plan.
Weird, huh? :-)
