- DFINGER is a DNET client program that does basically the same thing as
- the typical "finger" command you find usually with TCP/IP.
-
- DFINGER must be run from the CLI or SHELL.
-
- You use DFINGER by simply typing DFINGER and then the name and address
- of the person you wish to examine.
-
- For example, to get information on someone who's full internet address
- (login name and site) is rkent@sparc1.csubak.edu, you would
- simply type:
-
- dfinger rkent@sparc1.csubak.edu
-
- Additionally, on many systems you can display a list of all the users
- currently logged in.
-
- For example, to see who is presently logged in to sparc1.csubak.edu you
- would type:
-
- dfinger @sparc1.csubak.edu
