Oh.  Well, in that case, I think it's not going to go over all that well..
I know many programs which try to make sense out of finger output.  (I don't
want to debate which is more broken).

Maybe instead you could fix it from the "other" end, make the finger
_client_ have a switch that would contact the remote host's "daytime" 
port..  same effect, I think, less intrusive?

Please ignore my babbling, I've been sick the last few days and literally
climbing the walls..  ;-)
