It gives whatever information you store about the user in passwd or NIS map..Are you sure you have the entire name in the passwd/NIS (whichever applicable)? In the example you quoted, you have got login name as kumar...

Looks like this user does not have his full name updated..

If the full names are stored in the 5th field of /etc/passwd you can try this:
Code:
awk -F: '$1="kumar"{print $5}' /etc/passwd

That why you dont see with finger. I am afraid you need to first update the user database with first and last names.
