Well, it may help enough. Or alias it to getent if that's what you're
looking for. Or, if nothing is close enough:

alias finger="echo Don\'t do that."

But finger can still be installed on the multiple-user systems that still
persist, or in any environments which still run finger servers. (Are there
any?) I think the case is pretty good that it's obsolete.




Fun fact™: I learned from this conversation that my default personal user
environment still contains a .plan file.
