Hi all,

I have client machines bound to my FreeIPA domain correctly as best I can tell. I have noticed however that the "finger" command appears to not be matching on user's names anymore like it does with my older NIS clients. Finger appears to only work when passing it the actual username of a user, not their first or last names.

/etc/nsswitch.conf is configured properly for user matching on the client. What am I missing?

Thank you!
