From: "Matthew A. Dunford" <mdunford@lbl.gov>
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:
