README file for Linux port 0.1 of bsd-finger:

This is finger from the BSD distribution.  It is a standalone program
for displaying information about users, using the familiar format
shown below:
------
Login    Name                 Tty  Idle  Login Time   Office     Office Phone

Minor changes were made under #ifdef linux conditionals.  To produce
an executable for your system, unpack the tar archive and type 'make'.
You will need the Gnu C compiler and 4.2 library/include files.  Put
the resulting binary file into /usr/bin and you're all done.

If you want to use the home/office display capability, set up your
/etc/passwd file entries in the BSD standard form:

user:x:UID:GID:Name,Office loc,Office Phone, Home Phone:/usr/homedir:/bin/sh

This is ideal for standalone, non-networked installations like mine.
It probably works (but I haven't tested it) in a TCP/IP environment.

Limitations:
  There isn't any support for lastlogin

Problems:
  Report to rbraun@spdcc.com (Rich Braun)
