System name:		double-r-diner
Type and version:	RTPC-ROMPC 7.2R (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		apa16

What were you trying to do?
	Use /usr/ucb/f (a symbolic link to /usr/ucb/finger)

What's wrong:
	'f user' doesn't list Athena-wide info for the user.  'finger
	user' does.

	finger(1) does not mention the Athena-wide concept at all.

What should have happened:
	f and finger should do the same thing.

	finger(1) should mention that Athena-wide info can be
	obtained.


Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	man 1 finger
