I just noticed a problem with remote use of finger on this 9815 running
OSx4.4+many-patches (~4.4c ?).  When I try "finger user at other-host", the
system just treats it like a local inquiry and comes back immediately
with "???".  Using "finger user at rex" or "telnet rex finger" from another
host results in a "syslog: sendto: bad file number" error message.

finger is listed in the services and servers file.  The binary is owned by
root with the suid bit set.

Is there a problem with Pyramid's finger and is this just my problem?
