Hi all!

Although I put "finger_ok : 3" in my static-file, every user,
even the -1/0 guest account can still finger all other users.
Is there a solution? (I don't want to "disable: finger")

System is Waffle 1.65 under Messy-Dos

Thanx in advance,
Andreas

This appears to be a bug.  Waffle doesn't check the value of finger_ok
anywhere, so the only workaround would be to write an extern to provide
the information that you're interested in, which you can then control
access to, and 'disable: finger'.
