    I wonder who of us needs (new) glasses:

    When I issue 'finger joey@finlandia', I see the following in syslog:

    Mar 31 22:32:56 finlandia cfingerd[17269]: connect from 217.89.86.34
    Mar 31 22:32:56 finlandia cfingerd[17269]: joey fingered from joey@finlandia.infodrom.north.de

    Details:

    Mar 31 22:32:56 finlandia cfingerd[17269]: connect from 217.89.86.34

    Created by tcpd which starts cfingerd.

    Mar 31 22:32:56 finlandia cfingerd[17269]: joey fingered from joey@finlandia.infodrom.north.de

                                    target username source of fingering.
