URL: http://www.emailman.com/finger/

Description:
If information is available fingering someone's email address reports data such as name, home directory, UNIX shell, whether currently logged in and where, whether they have unread mail, and the contents of their .plan and .project files. This site explains all about a service that's dying out due to security concerns.
