Who should run in.fingerd and in.cfingerd from /etc/inetd.conf?  Do
each of these require root privledge?  Can I install finger-1.36 to
use bin instead?  Do I need to set /usr/local/etc/fingerdir ownership?
Should I forget it and just use root?

Any suggestions appreciated.


Family is something which goes back to the nucleus of civilization.
 And the very beginnings of civilization, the very beginnings of this
 country, goes back to the family.
                -- Vice President Dan Quayle.
