Finger is an Internet tool that you can use to find out information
about people all over the Net.  As long as a person's Internet host
is running the finger daemon (fingerd), you will be able to retrieve
information using the finger command.

This section tells you how to finger others, how to customize your
finger information, and how you may be able to track who fingers you
(and why finger tracking is probably not worth doing).
