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....

    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.
