who's fingering me

[Wietse Venema]

>=As a very simple but useful workaround in this case, you can use a 
>=fingerd that immediately fingers back to the host it receives a request 
>=from, thus revealing potential userid of people who are fingering your
>=system. Have a look at ftp.win.tue.nl:~ftp/pub/logdaemon.tar.Z
>=(available for anon. ftp). It contains various utilities of this
>=kind written by Wietse Venema.

Correction: this archive only contains programs that report the remote
host name (and user name in case of rlogin/rsh connections). There are
just too many potential problems with automatic backfingering.
