We am having trouble that prevents others from using finger to query
our system.  When they try it, they get the error message

syslog: sendto: Bad file number

Here are the lines showing the services and servers entries and the
directory entry for in.fingerd.

finger          79/tcp

finger  stream  tcp     nowait  nobody  /usr/etc/in.fingerd     fingerd

-rwxr-xr-x  1 bin      bin         30720 Jul 11 17:09 /usr/etc/in.fingerd

Any ideas?  Is something configured wrong?  Does it look like in.fingerd
somehow got clobbered?
