What is finger?
finger is a protocol from the early days of the internet
for looking up information about a user on a remote host. You typed
finger someone@somehost and the host printed back who they
were, whether they were logged in, and the
contents of their ~/.plan file.
A short history
finger was first specified in RFC 742 (1977) and later formalized in RFC 1288 (1991). It ran on TCP port 79 and spoke pure plaintext: connect, send a name and a carriage return, read the reply, disconnect.
