Description Joshua Buysse 2000-07-12 20:42:38 UTC 
Short form -- ypchfn is supposed to have the current GECOS value as a
default, so if you just hit return, it will keep the old value.  It
doesn't.  If you attempt to keep the old value, it will end up blank.  I'll
note this in depends as well.

Here's my shell output:

buysse@brute:~ 3% ypchfn
Changing NIS account information for buysse on atlas.socsci.umn.edu.

To accept the default, simply press return. To enter an empty
field, type the word "none".

The GECOS information has been changed on atlas.socsci.umn.edu.

Nalin:  florian doesn't seem to be addressing this, but it would be good to get
