| 02-518559-nsswitch-sources.patch | http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=518559
Doesn't work with a non-iterable nsswitch source Currently, "finger tabbott" works by iterating through the list of users on the system using getpwent and checking if any of them match "tabbott". Some nsswitch backends (including Hesiod and LDAP[1]) do not support iterating through the complete list of users. These nsswitch backends instead only fully support looking up a user's information by username or uid. So, if tabbott is a user whose nsswitch information comes from LDAP, then "finger tabbott" will incorrectly report "finger: tabbott: no such user." "finger -m tabbott" does work correctly, however, because it looks up the matching username using getpwnam. A fix for this is to always look up an argument to finger for a username match, and having -m only control whether finger searches the entire user database for real name matches. Patch attached. This patch has the advantageous side effect that if there are some real name matches and a username match, finger will always display the username match first (rather than in some random place in the list). -Tim Abbott [1] with LDAP, it is typically the case that one can iterate through only the first 100 results from a query.

| 05-547014-netgroup.patch | http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=547014 finger segfaults when it comes across a netgroup entry in /etc/passwd. A netgroup entry doesn't include many of the fields in a normal passwd entry, so pw->pw_gecos is set to NULL, which causes finger to core dump. Here is part of a /etc/passwd file with a netgroup entry: nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/nonexistent:/bin/sh +@operator This patch sidesteps what finger considers a malformed passwd entry: |

| 06-572211-decrease-timeout.patch | Decrease timeout length during connect(). In cases where a name server is answering with A as well as AAAA records, but the system to be queried has lost a corresponding address, the TCP handshake timeout will cause a long delay before allowing the query of the next address family, or the next address in general. . The use of a trivial signal handler for SIGALRM allows the reduction of this timeout, thus producing better responsiveness for the interactive user of the Finger service. |
