          Arexx Finger Daemon With Connection Logging
          -------------------------------------------

A simple finger daemon written in ARexx that overcomes the security
risks associated with the AmiTCP in.fingerd. All connections to
port 79 are also logged to a file.

To install, copy this script to AmiTCP:serv/rx.fingerd and make sure
that the script bit is set.

Change the entry for finger in AmiTCP:db/inetd.conf to read:

"finger    stream      tcp dos bin - rx AmiTCP:serv/rx.fingerd"

This script is based in part on a more basic script that I found
last year - original author unknown. I have modified it to work
correctly with both finger client and telnet connections, and made
several other small alterations.

             --------**Updated to make it 100% secure**--------

I found that this finger daemon wasn't 100% secure so I edited it to
make it 100% secure and with a little more logging, it logs the specificuser
that someone tries to find information out about when someone fingers
specificuser@your.host, also updated to handle the -l (long) protocol
that many finger programs can support and if you're using AmIRC it will
tell you when someone fingers you.
