I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if I'm not versed in inetd stuff, but after doing the debian install of cfinger, no one on my machine could be fingered. I was able to fix this by changing the line in inetd.conf from finger stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/cfingerd to finger stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/cfingerd cfingerd It looks like I'm giving logging and access-control over to cfinger and leaving tcpd out of it.
