fingerd is another replacement for in.fingerd. It's built to make it easy to
create 'dummy users' who you can finger if you want to know the status of
your hot tub, vending machine, or whatever. To run it, simply su to root and
run the Install script. Then, edit inetd.conf to reflect the finger server's
move to /usr/sbin/fingerd. 

Read DEFAULT for information on modifying the default script if you're not
experienced in perl.
