I've got a weird one for yout.  In my home directory I have made a file
'.plan' and put some relevant text in it.  While logged in as myself, I
can do `finger tj` and it shows all of the info that it should.  If I
log in as another user, it gives all the info except it says "No plan." 
If, as logged in as myself, I type `finger tj at localhost` or `finger
tj at tjbell.dhs.org` or `finger tj at 24.4.38.60` I get everything except "No
plan."  The ONLY way it will display my .plan file is if I'm logged in
as myself AND I just do `finger tj`.

Any ideas??  The .plan permissions are 644 so other can read it but of
course my home directory has the perms cut off...but that shouldn't
matter to finger should it??
