jweiss had previously mentioned some inconsistencies with finger -- I'm
seeing some on scyther.mit.edu (Linux-Athena 9.4.10) too. The IDLE and
JCPU columns in the w output below are a bit odd too.
[~ scyther]% finger huberth@scyther
[scyther.MIT.EDU]
finger: huberth: no such user.
[~ scyther]% ls -l ~huberth/.nofinger
ls: /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/h/u/huberth/.nofinger: No such file or
directory
[~ scyther]% w huberth
