* The Finger version and where you obtained the distribution
casbs% finger .version
GNU Finger server version 1.35, running on casbs.
(from ftp.uu.net, I think)

* Your hardware
Sun 4/330 server (casbs) + 2 SS2 clients (delphi & quercus: both of
which mount /usr/local/etc from the server)

* Operating system
SunOS 4.1.1

* C Compiler used
GNU cc 2.1

PROBLEM: When logging in from our Annex terminal server, or from some
other host on the Internet, the login session is visible only by using
"finger .local".  For example, right now I am logged into casbs from
both our Annex (tip-casbs) and psych.toronto.edu.  Here are the two
finger outputs after giving the finger daemon ample time to note the
logins (at least 10 minutes):

casbs% finger

patrick  Patrick Goebel                    *p5 casbs    (psych.utoronto.c)

Any idea what might be going on?  Many thanks!
