Hi...

This isn't really a major bug, however it still needs to be fixed :-)

There is some incomplete finger information (to the wtmp?) being generated -
it may be best if I show you a partial output of a "w" command:

wafish   ttyS1     5:30pm    10                -
elliott  ttyS11    3:23pm  2:17                -

And the respective finger enteries:

elliott                       *S1  2:18  Aug 10 15:23 (57600/26400 LAP)
wafish                        *S1    11  Aug 10 17:30 (57600/28800 LAP)

There seems to be a missing "1" for the user "elliott".  However, if I
finger elliott directly, then it does report that he's on ttyS11 - just not
in the standard ``finger'' output.  Is it possible to add the extra diget here?

Regards,

...Karl
