The trick, as I learned it, was to use @@XXX.com on Ultrix systems. After a quick test, I notice that single letters and "." don't work on Ultrix, but any digit or "@" does. Go figure. Probably some Berkeley student had a hangover the day they coded finger?
Yes, the hangover is possible. But, actually I recall that this was originally a feature: you could finger people by their room number (or was that phone?), too. Seeing that this probably never worked except in Berkeley, it's amazing that that piece of code was never removed. Oh well, maybe it isn't that amazing after all... //niko
