[ol6_u8_base] finger-0.17-40.el6.x86_64

Finger is a utility which allows users to see information about system
users (login name, home directory, name, how long they've been logged
in to the system, etc.).  The finger package includes a standard
finger client.

You should install finger if you'd like to retrieve finger information
from other systems.
