We have here a couple of machines (suns) using the same userdisks.
If I start the program on one machine, and try to finger myself from 
another, the finger program locks up. It doesn't matter if i finger
myself on the current machine, or the machine i started plan from.
eg
        aton% finger jpensar@ra
        aton% finger jpensar

both locks up if i started the program on ra. The same happens if I finger 
myself from a VAX.

It doesnt work, but I guess it doesn't matters anyway.
