- Yes, but finger user@host@relayhost works on many systems also. Yay.
-
- This can be traced back, however, if the relayhost both runs '931 and
- has a '931-aware logging fingerd, and the original host runs '931; the
- final host will see "nobody@relayhost" fingering them, ask the relayhost
- admin to check the logs, and he'll see "originaluser@originalhost" at
- that time point.
