For displaying information about users on remote systems and your
local system, the DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS product
includes the Finger utility. For example, you can use the utility
to determine which users are logged on to a system or to refresh
your memory about the correct login name to use before using FTP
or another service to connect to an account on a remote host.
The Finger listing may include such information as:
o User name
o Account name
o Program the user is running
o User's home directory
o User's plans, activities, and other information
o User's project
The Finger software must be enabled (see your system manager).
If the Finger software is not enabled on your local OpenVMS host,
when you attempt to display information about users on that host,
an error message is returned. For example, the following error
message indicates the Finger image was not installed with the
privileges required. See your system manager.
%SYSTEM-S-NOTALLPRIV, not all requested privileges authorized
The Finger utility must be enabled on any remote host for which
you want information. If the software does not exist or is
disabled on the remote host, an error message is returned, such
as the following:
FINGER-I-CONNREF, Connection refused
