           \_ question is, how do you log finger attempts to you?
                \_ People still use finger?  Who cares?
                \_ this is by far the more useful question - i know at the
                ocf you used to have fingerlog information. anyone
                know how this was implemented?
                \_ We hacked the finger source.  -alan-
                \_ roll your own
                \_ finger blojo.securityhole
                                         \_ ooh!
              \_ Something like making .plan a pipe and having a script listen
                 to it.  I think achoi showed me how to do it.  -- yuen
                        \_ Doesn't work if your home dir is NFS mounted or
                           your system's finger is smart enough to only open
                           real files for .plans.  (If the program on the other
                           end of the pipe dies, you'll end up with lots of
                           hung finger & fingerd processes).
