daemon@ATHENA.MIT.EDU (wchuang@ATHENA.MIT.EDU)
Mon Apr 23 19:04:48 1990

From: wchuang@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
Date: Mon, 23 Apr 90 19:02:23 -0400
To: bugs@ATHENA.MIT.EDU

System name:		m11-115-5
Type and version:	VAXSTAR 6.4R
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?

	/usr/athena/finger sabet krishna sml

(krishna was the only one logged in)

What's wrong:

You'll notice the output from the finger information... under
"krishna"'s finger info, it says that he's been "On since Sabet A
Chowdhury", who was the first user in the finger list.

What should have happened:

It should've given the time that Krishna had been logged in since.

I'm not sure why this happened, but... hopefully it can be fixed easily.
