Description-en: configurable finger daemon
This is a free replacement for standard finger daemons such as GNU
fingerd and MIT fingerd. Cfingerd can enable/disable finger services
to individual users, rather than to all users on a given host. It is
able to respond to a finger request to a specified user by running a
shell script (e.g., finger [email protected] might cause a
sound file to be sent) rather than just a plain text file.
