System name:		tailgunner
Type and version:	KN01 7.1H
Display type:		PM-MONO

What were you trying to do?
	Finger at this workstation

What's wrong:
	fingerd expects to be run as root; it won't run as daemon, which is
	how it is set up to run in /etc/inetd.conf

What should have happened:
	either fingerd should be fixed so it doesn't have to be run as root
	(best solution) or fix the line in inetd.conf.
