>Number: 539
>Category: bin
>Synopsis:
>Confidential: no
>Severity: non-critical
>Priority: low
>Responsible: freebsd-bugs (FreeBSD bugs mailing list)
>State: open
>Class: sw-bug
>Submitter-Id: current-users
>Arrival-Date: Wed Jun 21 15:50:00 1995
>Originator: Tom Samplonius
>Organization:
UNIServe
>Release: FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE
>Environment:
>Description:
finger scans every home direcotry for .nofinger rather than checking
home directories of the users that actually match.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use finger with large number of users
>Fix:
Only check home directories if they match. The following patch
moves the hide() call just after the match() call so that only home directories
of matched users get checked.
