What were you trying to do?

Run "[...] | xargs finger" to check if any accounts listed in my
.anyone file are deleted since last I checked.


What's wrong:

In the "athena-wide" section of the output, the login time data seems
to have been scribbled over:

Login name: ghudson                     In real life: Greg Hudson
Office: E40-342D,  x3-0825              Home phone: 625-6427
Directory: /mit/ghudson                 Shell: /bin/athena/tcsh
On since Nancy Louise Bigler Gilman on rcn-sucks.fsck.com:1.0 on host rcn-sucks.fsck.com
No Plan.
...
Login name: lavin                       In real life: Anne R LaVin
Office: E40-341,  x8-0985
Directory: /mit/lavin                   Shell: /bin/athena/tcsh
On since Nancy Louise Bigler Gilman on :0.0 on host usagi.mit.edu
No Plan.
...

Nancy is indeed one of the people in the list, but nothing obvious
like first or last or anything like that.  And all the entries where
people are logged in show Nancy's name instead of the login time.


What should have happened:

Real times should've been reported.
