The Plan File
The plan file helps you to control the information that others see when they use the finger command to lookup your account.
By default, the following information is included for student and faculty/staff accounts:
|

Faculty/Staff Account:

- Use the University Directory to set preferred information for name or email address. The directory privacy settings can also be used to show additional information such as home address and phone.
- Use the "cyrfinger on" and "cyrfinger off" commands to toggle the ability to have finger show whether you have new email.
- Use the plan file to store any other information that you would like others to see when they use the finger command on your account.
