I flipped through my notes and saw 'finger'. So, we got an article about the finger command. It's not nearly as in-depth as it could be, largely because it doesn't need to be and I'm not sure I understand the whole protocol bit enough to explain it to other people.
Amusingly, there's already a comment there where someone's having trouble running it on Ubuntu.
So, if you think you can answer that person's question, feel free to do so (as a comment reply). I've tested on Lubuntu and Mint and finger works just as expected for me. I can't replicate their problem and I have no idea how that'd even happen. I told 'em that smart people exist on this forum. Maybe they'll come here to ask for help.
Feel free to help 'em out in a comment. That'd help me out too, assuming we can actually help them get it sorted.
