Hi

I tried recently:

finger $user
finger: beaupran: no such user

hmmm. I am. I am a user.

ok let's try the root:

beaupran@outpost [7:22pm] ~> finger root
Login: root                             Name: Charlie Root
Directory: /root                        Shell: /usr/local/bin/tcsh
Never logged in.
No Mail.
No Plan.

good. this works...

curious...

BTW, why the 'Charlie' before the root? Is it a traditional root nick?
