Err, thanks and sorry for bothering you with this stupid problem. Once i
understanded what is WML_GEN_REALNAME, i realised what was the
problem:
(again screenshot ;-)
	
	[vang@zeus]:~ $ chfn
	Changing finger information for vang.
	Password: 
	Name []: 

My name was not set in /etc/passwd (because i reinstalled recently the 
operating system...).

Thanks and sorry again, next time i will RTFM.
