"finger user1" pointing user1 and user2 as well why so?

Hello guys,

on Solaris 10 os, I have this problem,

When I finger one user it points to 2 user why so,

Code:

-bash-3.2$ finger machova
Login name: machovp                     In real life: raju Machova (LIB FinAcct User)
Directory: /users/cz/182/machovp        Shell: /usr/bin/ksh
Never logged in.
No unread mail
No Plan.
Login name: machova                     In real life: ram Machova (Liberec Production User)
Directory: /users/cz/182/machova        Shell: /usr/bin/ksh
Never logged in.
No unread mail
No Plan.

However their home directory is diferent.

Code:

-bash-3.2$ grep machova /etc/passwd
machova:x:4828:102:ram Machova (System1 Production User):/users/cz/182/machova:/usr/bin/ksh
-bash-3.2$ grep machovp /etc/passwd
machovp:x:3689:102:raju Machova (System2 FinAcct User):/users/cz/182/machovp:/usr/bin/ksh
-bash-3.2$ sudo ls -ltra /users/cz/182/machova

Will this cause any issue? first tell me,
I checked their respective home directories the owner and group owner are proper.

Please advise.

Thanks,
Manali.

LEARN ABOUT OSX

finger.conf

FINGER.CONF(5)						      BSD File Formats Manual						    FINGER.CONF(5)

NAME

     finger.conf -- finger(1) alias configuration file

DESCRIPTION

     The optional finger.conf file is used to provide aliases that can be fingered by local and network users.	This may be useful where a user's
     login name is not the same as their preferred mail address, or for providing virtual login names than can be fingered.

     Lines beginning with ``#'' are comments.  Other lines must consist of an alias name and a target name separated by a colon.  A target name
     should be either a user, a forward reference to another alias or the path of a world readable file.

     Where an alias points to a file, the contents of that file will be displayed when the alias is fingered.

FILES

     /etc/finger.conf  finger(1) alias definition data base

EXAMPLES

     # /etc/finger.conf alias definition file
     #
     # Format alias:(user|alias)
     #
     # Individual aliases
     #
     markk:mkn
     john.smith:dev329
     john:dev329
     sue:/etc/finger/sue.txt
     #
     # Network status message
