Hmm... I thought I'd been quite careful about the '#ident's.  They
should only be seen if you have SYSVR3 defined.  It was with SysVr3.0
(as far as I can tell) that AT&T introduced the '#ident' pragma for
entring .comment sections in the assembler output.  There is no other
need to define SYSVR3 in the finger.c I posted.

As for buffers and such, I didn't do too much cleanup.  There are
still a lot of "magic numbers" scattered about, some of which place
restrictions on data, others which define data, etc.  It's not dumped
on me yet :-), though I'll change those buffer declarations which deal
with user data as you've suggested.
