For finger to work remotely, you have to have set up a .plan file as well as applied correct permissions to it at the time in your home directory.
I have a .plan file, I get that response from finger when I'm on SDF but it doesn't work when I do the lookup remotely. I don't recall the needed permissions.
Now, since you know your username, there is a password reset mechanism:
Password Reset at SDF Wiki
I tried
recover
but it saysno such user
. It very well might be that I didn't set up any password recovery ten years ago. So either there's no user with that login anymore or it reports no such user because it's not set up for recovery. Maybe I'll try make a new user with same username.@siipale You could try reaching out to [email protected].
You know what, I just checked, and account expiry is covered in the FAQ.
It might well be expired.
I second emailing membership, they might be able to help you. Or if you trust one of us, we might be able to check, as well.
