What I want to do is be able to search (finger) via criteria. For
exapmle if I have a user like this:
Login: bob Name: Bob Jones
Directory: /home/bob Shell: /bin/bash
Office Phone: 555-1212 Home Phone:555-1212

Project:
http:/bob.bob.com
Plan:
Corporate Account
When I finger Corpoarte it does not return anything. If I have a user
with the username or Name Corporate, it will return these. what I am looking
for is a way to "search" or finger the different things in the finger info.
Things such as the .plan, .project or whatever. I want to be able to finger
Corporate and have it come up with all the corporate users. I really do not
want to have a huge long name such as:
Login: bob Name: Bob Jones / Corporate account /
Primary
The whole reason behind this, is we want to periodically finger all
"Corporate" accounts and have the info return every corporate account.
Does this make a little better sense?
