being finger-ed?

fingered by someone?

Assuming that you're sysadmin on the machine, then yes. Replace fingerd
with kfingerd. It allows customization of the response, including

aren't allowed, instead), phony usernames ("finger

called by a finger, and logging, among other things. It's pretty nice.

No, I've nothing to do with the program. Just use it.

I read the lsm for cfingerd and kfingerd, which were both suggested by people and the lsm
for cfingerd insinuated that it was a whole lot more secure than kfingerd and others.
Anything substantial to this or am I just being paranoid? I'm very interested in the
options that both give, but I don't want to rush into anything. Thanks.

cfingerd can, if configured correctly, run a shell script when
fingered. You can set up a different shell for any number of
non-existent users. An interesting idea is to play a sound file

If you implement this, please email me the script.

cfingerd, available from
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Network/daemons

The documentation should be enough to answer all questions.
