For displaying information about users on remote systems and your
    local system, TCP/IP Services includes the FINGER utility. For
    example, you can use the FINGER utility to determine which users
    are logged on to a system or to refresh your memory about the
    correct login name to use before using FTP or another service to
    connect to an account on a remote host.

    The FINGER listing can include such information as:

    o  User name

    o  Account name

    o  Program the user is running

    o  User's home directory

    o  User's plans, activities, and other information

    o  User's project

    The FINGER software must be enabled on your local OpenVMS host
    (see your system manager). If FINGER has not been started, then
    attempts to use the FINGER command might cause an error message
    because of missing privileges. You must start the utility before
    attempting to use it.
