Finger wasn't designed to log finger requests, so finding who fingers
you is complicated - and sometimes impossible - to setup. For more
information see:
* The next section of this FAQ on the Backfinger Script.
* Chris Alfeld's fingertrace:
http://www.math.utah.edu/~calfeld/fingertrace/
* R.L. Samuell's logfinger script, which you can obtain by fingering:

4.9) How do I keep track of people who are fingering me?
This article is archived in all the usual FAQ archives, including:

An easy thing that you can do to see if anyone has fingered you is type the
following at your Unix prompt:
ls -lu $HOME/.plan
This tells you the last time someone accessed your .plan, but it doesn't
tell you who it was. I have this in my .login because it's interesting to
see when the last time someone was checking on me!
[Note that under AFS (Andrew File System, a distributed filesystem),
ls -lu $HOME/.plan will not work due to the fact that AFS has no
notion of ``atime'', or ``last accessed time''.]
