it sounds like your home directory is not +r ...

you have to do chmod +r <full path name to your home directory>

that should work.

	On my other UNIX accounts, I have ran across this problem.  Here 
are the solutions that I did.

First I did the following to my .plan

chmod 644 .plan

On my directory it looks like the following (does it match yours?)

  1 -rw-r--r--  1 rbaqai   ea            387 Feb 17 02:16 .plan

Next, there is this weird thing with some fingers it seems.  Forcing a 
long output seems to take care of it.

So, to finger me you can try the following things.

finger [email-masked]    (gives you really short response, no plan)

To get my plan, you would have to do the following

finger -l [email-masked]	(yes, the plan file now appears!)

Note, that is a dash L .. and I think case matters, although I would 
guess it depends from which OS system you were running.

Hope that solves any problems you have.
