What were you trying to do?
change my finger info on a workstation that has me in the passwd file.
What's wrong:
Before:
tla:~: f jweiss
Local:
Login name: jweiss In real life: Jonathon Weiss
Office: E40-342 area, x8-8656 Home phone: x5-7402
Directory: /mit/jweiss Shell: /bin/csh
During:
tla:/mit/bitbucket/zephyr-log: passwd.real -f
Changing finger information for jweiss
Name [Jonathon Weiss]:
Office number []: E40-342
Office Phone [E40-342 area]: 88656
Home Phone [88656,57402]: 57625
After:
tla:~: f jweiss
Local:
Login name: jweiss In real life: Jonathon Weiss
Nickname: E40-342
Office: 88656, x5-7625
Directory: /mit/jweiss Shell: /bin/csh
What should have happened:
Well the labels for what I'm changing should be correct. I'd
have to guess what I was changing based on the defaults. Its also
impossible to enter 2 phone numbers with a comma seperator, as given
in the default. I'm told that this is because comm is the seperator
in the passwd file.
Guess I'll just punt "passwd.real -f" and use "ed /etc/passwd.local" :-)
