Hello,
This has been reported intially in http://bugs.debian.org/550991
Remote finger no longer works.
It seems the switch from finger to pinky caused a regression in finger
feature.

This seems to be a regression since 2.22.1-1, after the switch to pinky
as finger program, introduced after the resolution of:

commit a9eaa17cdae8563e19e1afc2aebe64e534a4da85
2008-12-04 02:56 German Poo-Caamano Fixed #549588. Try to use pinky
instead of finger. Use finger as fallback.

It doesn't seem pinky is able to do the same job as finger does.
