>(Actually, I thought only fingerd was broken???)

Oops, I've already done it and forgot to tell anyone except NeXT.  All
I did was to grab the fingerd sources off uunet.uu.net, change the
pathnames.h file from /usr/bin/finger to /usr/ucb/finger, compile it
via "cc -object -O -o fingerd fingerd.c", and install it in the
apropriate place.  Now people can finger USERID@zardoz.club.cc.cmu.edu
and get something other than a list of who'se logged in.  Should I
make a tarfile with a Makefile that'll let people simply type "make
install", and drop it at an archive site?

NeXT told me that they forwarded the information to their software
engineering folks.

Finger is broken too, as far as I'm concerned.  When you finger
userid, you get their entry *twice* at least.
