[lug] Interesting Crash Report

[Holshouser, David]

just for completeness...

finger stills responds as an Internet service? or as a program while you are
at the console?

the finger service and the binary program resident on your harddisk are 2
different concepts.

try to finger someone on your box while you are sitting at a remote box with
a terminal on the
remote box.
