Fingerd seems to quickly lock up.  (In fact it appears it only checks other
hosts on the network when I send it a `HUP'.)  Then you start getting the 

/usr/local/etc/fingerdir/hostdata: file has not changed in  0:10:38

message.  An `strace' of the daemon gives the last few system calls as

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A `finger .clients' gives

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/local/etc/fingerdir/clientstatus: file has not changed in  0:13:24
There are 7 clients served by orchid.

Any ideas ?
