I know this one is easy.....I just can't figure out where to find the
answer.

After I change information in the /etc/passwd.
for instance the users real name.
finger returns the correct information, but mail does not until
after I reboot. I really can't reboot every time I change something
How do I get the changed information to take effect?
I tried restarting sendmail, that didn't get the infomation updated.

Thanx
