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.
