While playing with netstat, my friend and I discovered several instances
of cluster workstations being fingered by a machine at Cornell:
m16-034-18.finger CRUX3.CIT.CORNELL.EDU.4523 16384 0 9112 0 TIME_WAIT
We were concerned about possible security issues with this situation.
This situation has been seen on different days at different machines
throughout campus.
Here is the login list right now:
