	   I understand quite well about the local finger, however,
   finger then says "Athena-Wide" which I assume should be equivalent to
   finger x@athena. If not, what is it doing for the athena wide report?

Displaying the output of "hesinfo rochlis passwd".  The finger daemon
on athena.mit.edu (which I wrote) doesn't use the passwd hesiod
entries as its data base, it uses a custom file dumped directly from
the Moira database.
