>Release:        FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE i386
>Organization:
>Environment:

	4.1-STABLE as of 5 Sep 2000, maybe earlier.
	4.1-RELEASE is OK.

>Description:

	finger only displays a single match (the first one in the passwd file)
	for any partial name query, i.e. fingering last names or first names.
	Previously it would show all matching accounts.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Create 10 accounts on a machine with "Smith" as the user's last name,
	then "finger smith".  On 4.1-STABLE, only the first match in the passwd
	file will be shown.  On 4.1-RELEASE, all 10 will be shown.

>Fix:

	Have not tried to make a patch yet.
	From doing a quick diff between the 4.1-R and 4.1-S versions
	it appears to be related to the finger.conf changes in finger.c,
	in the general vicinity of line 300.
