Check what it actually said -- solaris 2.1, at least, doesn't have
/dev/pty, it has /dev/pts (Pseudo Tty Slave, or something like that)
and the stock finger{,d} has no problem finding my rlogin -x session,
using the latest Cygnus version of Kerberos...
If it is saying /dev/pty, then eklogind probably has broken
utmp code, which is possible since that code is somewhat hard to get
right (or at least I found it so...)

If I open an encrypted rlogin connection to my sparc classic,
fingering the machine fails with the error ``can't stat /dev/pty/0''
(the encrypted rlogin was using that pty).
(Mark, does this happen with the cygnus eklogind, too?)
