+Subject: [PATCH] chfn: Make readline prompt for each field on a separate line
+
+When readline is called to get user input, it is called without
+a prompt argument. As a result, if the user does not enter anything
+for a given field, then the next field is displayed on the same
+line, yielding the following output:
+
+ $ chfn
+ Changing finger information for user.
+ Password:
+ Name []: Office []: Office Phone []: Home Phone []:
+
+instead of the expected:
+
+ $ chfn
+ Changing finger information for user.
+ Password:
+ Full Name []:
+ Room Number []:
+ Work Phone []:
+ Home Phone []:
+
+This patch restores the expected behavior by feeding readline with
+a character to display as "prompt".
+
+[kzak@redhat.com: - do the same change in chsh
+ - use ' ' rather than '\n' for non-readline code]
