Hi, I used chfn and it worked once and after that it's broken. I suspect it left a lock file somewhere. I tried the upgrade to util-linux-2.7-15, but it's still broke. Here is a sample session.... [1][11:01am]jweber:linus:~> chfn Changing finger information for jweber. Password: Name [John Weber]: John S. Weber Office [635]: Office Phone [556-5394]: Home Phone []: setpwnam: File exists Finger information *NOT* changed. Try again later. Anybody know which file exists that needs to be removed? The errata mentions /tmp/ptmp, but I don't have that one.
