If you like the software, and you want to learn more about
the software, or want to see a feature added to it that
isn't already here, then please write to khollis@bit-
gate.com.

Extra note: cfingerd is now being maintained by Michael
Jarvis. Any additions after cfingerd 1.2.3 should be
directed towards Michael. You can reach him at
mjarvis@qns.com.
Incidentally, for those (like me) who are paranoid about any process that
runs as root, a version of cfingerd 1.3.0 has been hacked to run as user
`nobody'. I found it on sunsite.unc.edu, in /pub/Linux/Incoming, though
I'd imagine it will be moved in the near future. The stock version is in
the Incoming directory as well. Filenames:
cfingerd-1.3.0.tar.gz
cfingerd-1.3.0.noroot.tar.gz
