1/13    Does anyone know where to find that program that tracks who
        fingers you, like OCF did a few years back?
        \_ Masterplan - the finger detector
           http://www.netspace.org/~ldb/masterplan.html
           Perhaps a little crusty, but anyone tried it? -slow
        \_ Haha, there isn't any
           \_ So they wrote the program by themselves and locked away
              the source code?
                \_ Yes. -alanc- (aka finger@ocf)
        \_ Check our ~yuen/misc/plan that I got from Andrew Choi six years
           ago.  It creates ~/.plan as a pipe and monitors when someone
           reads it.  --- yuen
                   \_ Go to UCB Excess & Salvage & buy all the former OCF
                        apollos and you'll find the source code on one of
                        them.
        \_ if you care that much, freebsd fingerd logs the "target" of
           the finger request in /var/log/daemon.log.  grep your name
           in /var/log/daemong.log. --jon
           \_ actually, daeomn.log only shows remote finger requests, but
              then that is implied by fingerd. --jon
        \_ Check our ~yuen/misc/plan that I got from Andrew Choi (achoi)
           six years ago.  It creates ~/.plan as a pipe and monitors when
           someone reads it.  Cool!  Don't know if it still works on this
           incarnation of soda though.  --- yuen
                \_ Doesn't work on multiple-machine clusters like
                        EECS, OCF, or most ISP's.
           \_ FreeBSD finger does a silly check of your .plan to see if it
              will fit on one line or not; which is fine, but then it
              "rewinds" the file to display the whole thing.  You can't back
              up in a pipe (named or otherwise), so it barfs.  I'll fix that
              in source one of these days and compile a new finger binary;
              will post when it works  --dbushong
