You can define an alias for the finger command, e.g.

alias add finger source /tmp/finger.tcl

and modify the fingerd.tcl script to run interactively.

Aternately you can just install the fingerd script and do
finger @localhost

to invoke it.

When I issue a finger command at the Netblazer, I get a quick list of
who's logged in, and what connection they're using.

I'd like to display more information (if possible), like the IP
address (for packet users), etc. Is this possible?

If this is done with a TCL script, does the existing finger command
have a pre-defined script already?

Thanks,
Doug.
