This doesn't happen to be the "cfingerd" GNU finger does it? (the one that lists all finger info for a defined set of machines.) I've had it working here for some time now. I'm probably going to stop using it though... Its pretty slow and lags when its refreshing. I don't think it would be very difficult to write a finger that would use rwho data to keep track of who is logged on. All you would have to do is define which machines you wanted to list...
