I have Debian installed in the Linux emulation environment on my main

Works fine on my end. (It's supposed to end in "20Segmentation fault
(core dumped)", right?)
I have never tried to install a finger daemon on any of my boxen so as to
permit being able to receive incoming finger requests. Just hasn't been
important enough to me.

Oh, my .plan in those days said "To rid the world of Intel chips"
(sorry Clem, but this was back in the days of Intel vs. Moto). It
now reads "To rid the world of M$ software" but these days the
finger service is generally blocked.
It is? My .sig (not modified for this answer) includes a finger
reference, and "it works for me". Do some services block incoming
fingers?
