Finger Command

[Nick Furman <nfurman@jlink.net>]

Can someone tell me where finger gets it's information on the system, when
it displays when the user last checked their email.  I guess it reads
/var/spool/mail/(user) for the date of mail last received, but I am
unclear where it gets the information for when the user last checked mail.

Thanks in advance.
