Finger on NeXT solved!

Thanks to everyone for their constructive (and imaginative) answers to my  
question about why the finger daemon on my NeXT never returned the  
contents of the .plan and .project files. None of them worked! As someone  
so nicely put it "NeXT's finger is a dud". However the solution was  
contributed by Garance Alistair Drosehn (gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu), ITS  
Systems Programmer at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy NY. His  
recommendation was "You have to pick up a replacement version of  
/usr/etc/fingerd. I got mine off the FTP site moo.speech.cs.cmu.edu". So  
have I and it works!
