Mail: From Question

[Michael Lee <mp...@hpcn.ca.sandia.gov>]

I'm using the commit-email.pl script to send out a notification to a
mailing list when a write has occurred.  I noticed that the body of the
e-mails have:

Author: bsaget
Date: 2005-09-16 06:14:58 -0700 (Fri, 16 Sep 2005)
New Revision: 2

And that the e-mail is addressed from "bsaget@mysite.com"

Can someone give me suggestions to have the system usernames resolved to
their full, real names ("Bob Saget" instead of "bsaget") in both the
body and From header?  

Write access to the repository is controlled by an svn-auth-file, which
does have the usernames "bsaget," "bwayne," etc.  

Thanks,
Michael

Much better, yes. I seem to recall that I was elbow deep in regexes that
day, so everything looked like a pattern match.

    split(/:/, $line);
    next unless $_[0] eq $user;
    $user = $_[4];

Without looking at the script, I'd hazard that it shouldn't be too hard
to grep /etc/passwd for the GCOS field.  e.g., add something like: 

open PASSWD, "</etc/passwd" or die "$!";
While ($line = <PASSWD>) {
	next if ( $line !=~ /^$user/ );
	$user =~ s/^.*?:.*?:.*:.*?:(.*?):.*$/$1/;
}

You'll probably want to mangle the address to be still valid, so that
people can still reply.

(No, I didn't test that regex, and yes, it is probably a bad idea. For
illustrative purposes only.)

Things could always be worse; for instance, you could be ugly and 
work in the Post Office.
