From: qjb@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
Date: Sun, 25 Feb 90 21:54:36 -0500
To: bugs@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
System name:		soup
Type and version:	RTPC-ROMPC 6.4R
Display type:		apa16

What were you trying to do?
	See what information finger@athena gave that hesinfo
user passwd didn't (if any) 

What's wrong:
	finger @athena makes poor assumptions based on the
results of hesiod (or moira since hesinfo bla passwd and the
finger database come from the same source...)

Notice the office address in the hesiod entry:
qjb:*:2301:101:Emanuel 'Jay' Berkenbilt,Jay,E40-342 MIT,2534261,2256492:/mit/qjb:/bin/csh

Now notice it here:
[athena.MIT.EDU]
Login name: qjb                         In real life: Emanuel 'Jay' Berkenbilt  
Nickname: Jay                           Home phone: 225-6492                    
Office: E40-342 MI Tech Square          Office phone: 253-4261                  
Electronic mail address: qjb@ATHENA.MIT.EDU



What should have happened:
	MIT should not be translated into MI Tech Square
