<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I use finger effectively without a finger
server, on a single-user workstation (in multi-user mode, of course). I
believe it's getting the data via NSS and in my case that means LDAP. That's
not too esoteric IMHO.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Again though, I'm not troubled by having
to install it either; I'll just add it to my puppet manifests if necessary.</font>
