Hello, I work at a company that has more then just one campus. I need to find out which computer a co-worker is logged into at one of the other sites. Is there a command i can type to find out which computer he is on? I know i should be able to find him since i am able to telnet into a computer that i know is over there at the other site.

$ hostname $ my_server1 $ finger Login Name Tty Idle Login Time Office Office Phone root root pts/2 May 20 09:51 (s872600.oracle.com)
s872600.oracle.com is the machine root used to login my_server1 server.
2. write a script to collect the finger outputs from all your remote machines and you will be able to find which user(root) of which machine(my_server1) is using which machine(s872600.oracle.com) to login.
