1.35.1. RHBA-2011:0467: finger bug fix update
Updated finger packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
The finger utility allows users to display information about the system users, including their login names, full names, and the time they logged in to the system.
The update fixes the following bug:
* When the finger utility is run with no additional command line options, it provides output in the form of a table. Prior to this update, this tabular output did not include a separate column for information about a host, and this information was incorrectly displayed in the "Office" column. This update adds a new column named "Host", so that the host information no longer appears in the wrong column. (BZ#563291)
All users of finger are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
