 Hi,

 When adding a new Bonjour account, the "Advanced" screen has First Name
 and Last Name fields with pre-guessed values in them. These come from
 /etc/password. However, it is possible and quite common for the realname
 field in /etc/passwd to contain comma-separated name, office, and two
 phone numbers like this:

 thijs:*:123:456:Thijs Kinkhorst,BBL
 169,+3130555,+3130123:/home/thijs:/bin/bash

 This is parsed into first name "Thijs" and last name "Kinkhorst,BBL
 169,+3130555,+3130123". The plugin should first discard everything after
 the first comma (if any) and only then split the first and last names.
