     On some shell accounts here, "social commands" (like "finger",   
     "who", etc.) have been disabled. It might have something to   
     do with the "Datenschutz" ("privacy") laws.   
      
     The admins also do not seem to use "motd" anymore, instead   
     system information seems to be published on some web page.   
      
     I had one free shell account about 20 years on a system where   
     you could log in and play nethack. I think the highscore list   
     was shared.
