finger returns "no one logged on" problem

[J.B. Nicholson]

I tried fingering an account at mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu and finger came back
with: "no one logged on".  What does this mean?

I am interested in this because I have been trying to login to my account
there and cannot do it.  I can't even finger my own account.  I tried 
mailing the account and that seems to work fine (although I can't get in
the account to verify if the mail actually got there).  All I can say for
sure is that the mail I sent didn't bounce.

Usually if I finger an account that doesn't exist I get something like:

Login name: bogus                        In real life: ???

and that's it.  I'm clueless as to what is going on with this "no one
logged on" business.

Thanks for any help.

Jeff
