Since the width of the username and hostname fields in /etc/utmp or /usr/adm/wtmp in the Apollo implementation is 32 (instead of the usual 8 and 16), the output of some utilities displaying user info is totally misaligned and difficult to read on a 80 column terminal. This applies to finger, who, last, and the like. I think one should adhere to the unix convention, especially if I have requested so in the rgy properties.
