So, after a couple of people had complained about what boiled down to
their athena finger information being wrong, I note that it's actually
something of an epidemic.
If you look in the mb locker, and do
tail -500 users | more
then there's this whole *pile* of users who have information that
looks like (taking as one example)
rayna|114337|34744|/bin/athena/tcsh|cmd|Lee|Heather|R|1|900052862|MITS|0|02-nov-2000 10:12:27|10284|reg_svr|LEE, HEATHER R||||35-134|85620|Lab For Manufacturing &
now the |LEE, HEATHER R| means that when you finger her, you get
Athena-wide:
Login name: rayna In real life: LEE
Nickname: HEATHER R
which is probably not what they want, and this propagates into mail
signatures if they don't set it otherwise with .mh_profile.
I additionally note that this is appearing for unregistered people:
#34720|114335|34720|/bin/athena/tcsh|cmd|Pichi|Kimberly|A|0|900052860|MITS|0|31-oct-2000 06:03:28|11859|stafload|PICHI, KIMBERLY A||||W59-200|38292|Alumni Associa
so I think it's a change in the data the staff load is giving us and
thus maybe not technically a moira bug, but I don't know how to go
about tracking it down.
I haven't managed to get a grep regexp working correctly to confirm or
deny that there aren't any students in this boat yet, though.
