Is it a zone? (check with "zonename") Maybe finger is not installed there. You can check if anything is listening on finger port with:
Code:
netstat -an | grep LIST | grep 79

This what is returned following the grep 79 code:

Code:
127.0.0.1.32795    *.*    0   0 49152
127.0.0.1.32798    *.*    0    0 49152

I have no clue what this means

Well, you didn't include the "LIST" part. It is very important in this case as it would show only the ports open for connections. Anyway from that you posted it is clear that finger is not running on your server. Did you check what "zonename" is returning?

No I did, I input the entire code you listed and what I posted was the result.

As for zonename:
Code:
#zonename
  global

There is no finger service to disable on that machine. There might be one in a non global zone though ...

What says
Code:
zoneadm list -cv

?

Would you happen to know why that is? Doesn't Solaris come with it installed?

Finger daemon as well as client command are part of the "SUNWrcmds" Solaris package. It is possible that someone uninstalled it from your box. You can check it with:
Code:
pkginfo -l SUNWrcmds
