Description
The finger program, when provided an -at control argument and target host, will look up the host in the network service list and determine what network to use (chaos or internet) based on the first entry found in the host table for the host. If a host is specified as both an internet and chaos host, and the chaosnet software is installed and configured, but the internet software is not, then finger may choose the internet protocols if the internet address appears first for the host. There is no way to override this with a control argument, such as the -net control argument of other utilities.
