  Anyone know where to 'snarf it'?

    cfingerd can be gotten from:

    ftp.bitgate.com/pub/cfingerd/pub/cfingerd
 -or-
    sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Network/finger

    There are a couple of other fingerd's in the sunsite directory. Cfinger
seemed to be the best last time I was looking for a fingerd.
