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.

I use "nobody", and it seems to be enough.
