	Yes, there's a problem.  I thought this had gotten discussed here 
recently, but maybe it was in mail to Carl (csg).  If you have the 4.3 finger
source, simply compile and install.  It works.  If not, check uunet.  The 
4.3 finger was apparently ported a long time ago by Pyramid, but never made it
into the source distribution.  A little bird told me it'd be in the next 
release beyond 5.0 (5.1, 5.0.1, whatever).
