I've just installed GNU finger 1.37 on a small network of Suns, some
running 4.1.4 and others running 5.5.  The server is on a 4.1.4 box.
It's generally working fine, but I have a few questions about it...

When you finger, by default, you only get shown one session per user
per host.  If you finger .local@host, then you can see all sessions on
that host, even if a single user has multiple sessions.  But what I
really want to see is all sessions on all hosts, together.  I've gone
through the docs but can't seem to find a way to do that.  Clues?

The "What" field is empty, on both the Solaris and SunOS hosts.  
It's supposed to be showing its best guess of what program the user is
running.  Why isn't it working?  What should I look at/for?  (I tried
a telnet to the cfinger port, and the information it gives out does
lack the What information...)

There's a nifty feature that allows you to give descriptions in a file
called ttylocs, that will show up in the "Console Location" field.
Unfortunately, most of them never show up because there isn't enough
room for the whole FQDN to be listed.  Is there any way to make it
strip off the local domain for users logged in from hosts in the local
domain, so the stuff from ttylocs shows up?

Finally, where should I be posting these questions?  I looked around
but couldn't find any newsgroups that they seemed really appropriate
for, though these two were the closest.  I also couldn't find any
other postings about GNU finger, in any group.
