I like it ;-) Will it
I've replaced finger altogether for off-site finger requests with a nice
little perl script guaranteed to confuse and amuse. Try fingering
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Try it several times :)
I'll be glad to share the script with anyone who wants it.

could you explain this a bit?
from my knowl
It's possible to make .plan or .project to be named pipes, which means that
the act of reading them can cause code to be executed. If finger executes
suid root, then said code can execute as root. The potential for mischief
should be obvious.

In /etc/hosts.deny add something like the following:
in.fingerd: ALL
And then in /etc/hosts.allow add something like the following:
