  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.
