Finger will do what you show: find users by first name. WP's matching algorithm was geared more towards mail delivery, and if it finds a match for userid or surname (or both), it won't match first names. As the AndrewSetup documentation says, you shouldn't turn on RUN_AMDS_ENV unless you really expect to be running AMDS in your environment. I think, though, that the plus signs you're seeing (steve+@newton.uvm.edu) would disappear if you turned off both run-time AMDS (by turning on AMS_NonAMSDelivery) and *also* the plus-sign-is-valid option (by turning off AMS_UseridPlusWorks in AndrewSetup). ``brisk'' doesn't quite make resolver calls if RESOLVER_ENV is off, but it does make reference to the external resolver structure named ``_res''. I forgot to enclose this in ``#ifdef RESOLVER_ENV''/``#endif'' pairs, and that should be done. My regrets. Craig
