@ewo As far as I know, it is. That said, sometimes you need to poke membership a few times to get them to respond. It's an SDF tradition, I think.

Maybe worth looking into. I wonder how much shipping to Canada would cost me.

So, after a little more digging, I found that what is displayed by finger can be changed with SDF's maint command.

I may or may not have done this. I can't remember for certain. It's also possible that the default settings were different 10 years ago.

Have you tried emailing [email protected]?

@murph It was argued that you need to have a ~/.plan file, but I do not have one.

I do not recall having had to do anything to enable it.

@siipale For current accounts, yes. I can't answer definitively for legacy ones. I've only been on SDF a couple years now.

@siipale You could try reaching out to [email protected].

This is not true. I do not have a ~/.plan file. I just double checked in case I set one up and forgot about it.

finger still pulls some basic information without one.

@murph It does. Try finger [email protected] (that's me).

You can run the command finger [email protected] to see if an account with that name exists.

Considering what group this is, I'm surprised I've not seen anyone mention "not essential to your salvation".

Yeah, I found his videos by jumping down a 6502 rabbit hole.

Oh yeah, I can't see any practical use outside of educational, but for that purpose, it's a fantastic resource.
