The .plan file was intended to advise users, who can use the finger command, where someone was located or planning to do in the near-term. It's a user created free form file, so you can pretty much add what you want -- maybe signature type (phone number, address, website, blog, interests, etc) information. In this example, I'm listing phone numbers for after hours support followed by a quote.
Note: The fingerd daemon may be disabled at your site per security policies.
The finger command will read the first line of the .project file.
# vi .project
AFTER HOURS SUPPORT
:wq!
Just add your free form information in the .plan file
# vi .plan
For after hours support, call xxx-xxxx.
