Are you sure that /etc/finger.msg exists? finger shawn@cpl.net will open a connection to port 79, and send the string "shawn" to what it thinks is fingerd.. of course, this is really cat. Cat then should spit /etc/finger.msg to the port, but instead it is reading stdin and spitting shawn back out. I'm stumped :) I have no idea why cat would ignore the argument that is being passed.
