Since we networked and our machines and gave Yellow-Paged accounts
to everyone in the University (~6000 people), a the 'finger' command
takes 1-3 minutes to run when searching for a single person.

Does anyone have the sources for a version of 'finger' which uses
the Yellow Pages database to reduce the search time?

Thanks,
Pat
