I have tried to install GNU finger on our DN10000 and DN2500
but have had some interesting problems.  Firstly, I had to
fix a bug, which was in the tty location code.  (It uses
a routine `path_concat', and ends up with the file name
/usr/local/etc/gnufinger//usr/local/etc/gnufinger/ttylocs,
which doesn't work; the solution is trivial.)

However, a problem remains.  The login information doesn't
go away when one logs out.  I.e. after I log out, then
finger the machine from another machine, it still says
I am logged in.

I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has fixed this
problem.
