Users appear in alphabetic order. The oldest process attached to a single terminal is identified. A
backup process is not listed.
All Remote Users
To display information about all users on a remote system, specify the name or address of the
remote system. For example, the following command requests information about users of the system
named region2:
TACL 6> finger @region2

The amount of information and the format will vary, depending on which system you contact. This
example illustrates typical output from a UNIX system.
A Single Local User
To request information about a single user of your local system, specify user only. For example,
the following command requests information about the user whose user ID is manufg.sally.

As a Guardian system user, you can provide project and plan information by creating two files
on your default logon subvolume. See
“Providing Information for Other Users” (page 33) ,
A Single Remote User
To request information about a single user on a remote system, specify user@host. For example,
the following command requests information about a user named kass on a system named salecntr.
The information and format are system-dependent:
TACL 8> finger kass@salecntr
(Information about user kass appears here.)
Providing Information for Other Users
When other users on the network request information about you, FINGER searches for two files
on your default logon subvolume. If your subvolume contains an edit file named DOTPROJ, FINGER
displays the contents of the file under the heading “Project:”. If your subvolume contains an edit
file named DOTPLAN, FINGER displays the information in the file under the heading “Plan:”.
You can create these edit files if you want to communicate your plans and project information.
You must secure the files so they can be read by any user on the network.
For example, assume the DOTPROJ file contains the following text:
