Did you know about finger and its accompanying program chfn? It feels like a relic from a different time.
Usage:
chfn [options] [<username>]
Change your finger information.
Options:
-f, --full-name <full-name> real name
-o, --office <office> office number
-p, --office-phone <phone> office phone number
-h, --home-phone <phone> home phone number
-u, --helpdisplay this help
-V, --versiondisplayversion
For more details see chfn(1).
finger, yes, but IIRC I just manually edited a .finger file - I don’t remember chfn.
Also, I haven’t used finger in such a long time; since soon after the eternal September, probably. So many contacts never had finger info, it became not worth the effort to even check for it.
Use an OS for 20 years and still learn about new command every once in a while.
