Finger

[image of the Head of a GNU]

GNU Finger unfortunately has not been updated in many years, and has known security vulnerabilities. Please do not use it in production environments.

GNU Finger is a utility program designed to allow users of Unix hosts on the Internet network to get information about each other. It is a direct replacement for the Berkeley 4.3 finger code, although it produces different looking output and is designed to run on a wide variety of systems.

Online Manual is available at www.gnu.org/software/finger/manual/
