In man page of finger it's showing
Finger may be used to look up users on a remote machine. The format is to specify a user as “user@host”, or “@host”
so I tried
[max@localhost ~]$ finger max1@x.x.x.x
Then it's showing this error
finger: cannot create socket / connect host
what is the reason?
I need output by using finger command only
I am using Centos 6

There is no daemon called fingerd
[root@localhost ~]# chkconfig --list | grep -i fingerd
only finger service its showing and it's on
[root@localhost ~]# chkconfig --list | grep -i finger
finger: on
but still same problem...
