    Yeah, I installed GNU finger (in a more secure mode, not the
default "lets-give-everyone-access-to-everything", thank you very
much) on my ISP in Toronto.  You finger one machine, but it has
information from all the finger clients.  Rather nice.  I only have
six machines here and six users, so it wouldn't be of much benefit
here though.  ;-)
