[net.news.b] Real Names on a 4.0 USG system

ggr (06/21/82)

The gecos field on our USG 4.0 UNIX has the format:

		59451-Guy Riddle(6420)P116

If your password file has the same format,
the following change to ifuncs.c (the "2.10 6/8/82" version)
will delete all the numeric garbage, placing only
the user's name on the From line:

446a447
> 	char *s1;
453a455,462
> #ifdef USG
> 	if((s1 = strchr(inbuf, '-')) == NULL)
> 		return un;
> 	strcpy(inbuf, s1+1);
> 	if((s1 = strchr(inbuf, '(')) == NULL)
> 		return un;
> 	*s1 = '\0';
> #endif
