to change your finger information. This information is stored

displayed by the finger program. The Linux
finger command will
display four pieces of information that can be changed by
chfn : your
real name, your work room and phone, and your home phone.
COMMAND LINE
Any of the four pieces of information can be specified
on the command line. If no information is given on the
command line, chfn enters interactive mode.
