You could:- 

1) Search the process table looking for the keyword 'finger'. All this would
   alt this would require would just starting ps. However this method
   isn't very reliable in that it would catch other people who were
   fingering at that time + the process might not have an argv[0] of
   finger anyway.

2) Perhaps a more reliable method would be to go and get the active
   inode information from a program like pstat. (On Xenix, the option would
   be pstat -i). This gives you the device, the inode number and the uid
   of all currently active inodes. Therefore you can work out who is
   fingering you.
