Excerpts from what Niko Makila said: |But, actually I recall that this was originally a feature: you could |finger people by their room number (or was that phone?), too. Seeing |that this probably never worked except in Berkeley, it's amazing that |that piece of code was never removed. Oh well, maybe it isn't that |amazing after all... | | //niko I believe that the feature was to scan the login name field and if a match was not found to scan the gecos field for any partial information it could match on. Is it possible that the '.' and '@' are just forms of a regular expression or wildcard matching? If so then how many other wildcards are there to grep the password file?
